About Stuttgart-Hoffeld observatory

Stuttgart-Hoffeld observatory holds its own Minor Planet Center designation, MPC 153, marking it as a separate registered site from Stuttgart Observatory. Beyond that, detailed public information about its operators, instruments and history is limited, though its formal MPC listing suggests it has at some point supported real astrometric observation work.

Location & getting there

The site is located in the Stuttgart area of Germany, in the country's southwest, a region that is also home to Stuttgart Observatory itself.

Visiting Stuttgart-Hoffeld observatory

No public visiting information is currently available for this site. A web search or enquiry with local astronomy groups in Stuttgart is the best way to check current access, since smaller MPC-listed sites are often run privately or by small clubs rather than opened widely to the public.
