The Swabian Observatory e.V. (Schwäbische Sternwarte e.V.) in Stuttgart is one of Germany’s oldest public observatories, dedicated to astronomy education and community engagement since 1919. Perched on the Uhlandshöhe hill in Stuttgart-Ost, the observatory was founded by astronomer and author Robert Henseling and opened to the public in 1922. It is operated by a volunteer association and supported by member contributions and the city of Stuttgart. The facility offers guided tours, telescope viewings, and lectures that make astronomy accessible to all ages. Its location provides clear views of the night sky, and its historic dome houses instruments used for both educational and observational purposes. The observatory also collaborates with schools and hosts special events, fostering curiosity and scientific literacy. As a non-profit institution, it remains a vital cultural and scientific landmark, blending tradition with outreach in the heart of Stuttgart.
