The moon, distant planets, and galaxies light-years away – all of this can be observed at the Walter Hohmann Observatory in Schuir. Located in the Essen district of Schuir, the Walter Hohmann Observatory is a public observatory run by a non-profit association and is also involved in planetoid research. It was named in memory of the spaceflight pioneer Walter Hohmann.
