When the small observatory was built in 1971 and 1972 on the hill not far from the then-quietly used A4 motorway, the outskirts of the village were considerably farther away than they are today. Hardly any artificial light source obscured the stargazers' view of the night sky here, just outside the village gates. "Back then, this location was ideal," emphasizes Arnulf von der Stein after unlocking the massive outer door. Now 83, he witnessed the development of this rather functional, purpose-built building, whose appearance, thanks to its distinctive dome, nevertheless resembles a miniature cathedral, from its beginnings to its demise.

The church in Weiterode, built in the 13th century, of which the choir tower is the oldest part, has undergone several renovations over the years. Along with the roof reconstruction, the ceiling was decorated with paintings in the Peasant Baroque style. The church is one of the Peasant Baroque churches found in the region and is therefore well worth a visit. The former court linden tree stands in the square in front of the church. https://www.kirchen-paedagogik.de/Broschuere_Bauern-Barock-Kirchen_Download_NEU.pdf
