Europe´ s biggest projection dome (?) is 13 metres high and 21 metres in diameter and made of copper. Apart from regular shows and a permanent exhibition about the history of astronomy, concerts and lectures also take place at the observatory. One can enjoy a wonderful view of the park and of north Hamburg from the observation platform.

Besides it´s the only film theatre with a flat ground.The MAGAZIN is located in the middle of a 1925 constructed red - brick living area. The film theatre was offically used as a meeting room or as a canteen, but already in 1938 it was changed to a cinema.

Stadtpark
Hamburger Stadtpark - Hamburg
The city´ s biggest park (180 hectares) lies in the north of Hamburg. At the beginning of the 19th century, the city of Hamburg acquired the area to develop a public park for its citizens for recreational purposes. The park was finished in the 1920s. Divided by avenues and hedges into large individual areas which have a symmetrical lay-out and the confined planting - apart from the forest-like sections -, it follows clear geometrical patterns. After plantings had been destroyed during the war or cut down, the park was restored in the 1950s in accordance with the original plans. Different areas of the park: A huge green space with the observatory at one end (former water tower, 1913-1915), a forest-like park, open-air swimming pool with restaurant and fast food, play-grounds, open-air stage, country house and restaurant.
