Founded on 13 October 1978 by the city of Schkeuditz, the center was built with support from the local Maschinen- und Apparatebau Schkeuditz (VEB) and designed after the Astronomische Station Johannes Kepler in Halle. It features an 8-meter dome planetarium equipped with a Zeiss ZKP-2 projector and a Coudé refractor telescope, enabling lifelike simulations of the night sky, planetary systems, and celestial phenomena. Visitors can explore the cosmos through educational programs, holiday events, and live observations when weather permits. The facility includes a classroom and viewing platform, and it hosts around 500 guests monthly. Operated in partnership with the Freundeskreis Planetarium e. V., the center is part of the Sternwarte Nordsachsen network alongside the Eilenburg observatory. Located at Bergbreite 1, it remains a vital hub for science education and public engagement with astronomy.
