Since March 1, 2024, a new team within the Straube family has taken over the guest farm. A lot has happened in the meantime. The rooms have been renovated, we are currently building 16 new remote observatories, and our astronomical offerings have also expanded. Since our current priority is on completing the remote observatories and providing excellent support to our astronomy guests in the coming months, the expansion of our astro equipment is not yet reflected in the astronomy section of the website. The website still shows the status at the time of taking over guest operations.
Due to the very positive response to our first astronomy season in 2024, we had to build two new, large observation platforms in order to be able to offer our astronomy guests sufficient telescope placement with pillars this year.
