About this audio guide
This guide to the Ehrenhof in Düsseldorf starts far from the Rhine, in a Zeiss engineer's lab notebook in Jena in nineteen twenty, and follows a new way of bringing the night sky indoors. It crosses the rooftop test dome, the first public planetarium in Munich, and the nineteen twenty-six exhibition on health, welfare and sport that gave this square its round brick hall. Stand facing the dome at the south end of the court, close to the approach stairs.
