Visiting the Einstein Tower

An outside visit of the tower is possible at any time during the day and highly recommended. Guests have to register at the entrance of the science park.

Use the digital exhibition to discover the Einstein Tower, its history and the scientific background anywhere and anytime with a computer or smart phone: "Einsteinturm Revisited" - https://einsteinturm.com/.

Visiting the interior is mainly possible during the winter months, as the telescope and optics laboratory are in constant use for current research tasks. In general, the interior can only be visited as part of a guided tour, where further information about the building, the telescope and current tasks are explained. The Urania Potsdam usually organises such guided tours.

Please understand that we have to limit the number of visitors. The building is designed as an observatory, quite narrow, and is not suitable for large groups. In addition, the open construction inside makes the optical instruments very sensitive to dust and humidity. Registration for all Urania events is therefore absolutely necessary! Individual further agreements are possible to a limited extent, arranged by Urania.

Groups of school and university students may also contact the press and public outreach section directly via presse@aip.de.
