100 Jahre Ewigkeit

In the organizer's words:

Suddenly it was there, all at once. On that day in the summer of 1924, in a room whose dimensions seemed immeasurable, a small group of engineers and craftsmen gazed silently into the deep black of a starry sky, accompanied only by the sound of a ventilation system. After a construction process that lasted more than a decade and was interrupted by a world war, the projection planetarium came into being. Its effect surprised even those who were directly involved in its development. One hundred years later, this fascination remains unbroken. Many millions of people visit planetariums every year and new planetariums are being built. Today, projection planetariums are usually equipped with digital full-dome projection systems. However, this technological development has not changed their nature, but has revealed facets that were already present at the time of their invention and whose origins go back deep into human history. A 360° production that takes you on a journey through the development of planetariums. By Tobias Wiethoff.
