The Planetarium Hamburg was established in 1930. It is hosted in an old water tower right in the middle of Hamburg's central park - a landmark of the city. The planetarium staff run a very successful and highly competitive "theatre of stars", not only on a national base but on an international as well. It is fairly unique among German planetariums that Hamburg Planetarium fully produces or co-produces many of the shows shown.

The “heart” of the grand domed hall is the "Universarium IX", a unique projector which was manufactured by Carl Zeiss, Jena. The diameter of the dome is 22 meters. There are 253 comfortable reclining-seats in the planetarium, and in an average year the Hamburg Planetarium hosts about as many as 350.000 visitors - which makes Planetarium Hamburg the most successful planetarium among all German planetariums by far.
