    The planetarium opened on June 18, 1965. The dome has a diameter of 20 meters. The Zeiss Vb star projector, which can be retracted into the floor, can project a total of over 8,900 stars onto the ceiling of the planetarium. The building replaced the planetarium at the zoo that was destroyed in World War II.

    The Planetarium am Insulaner has been operated by the association Wilhelm-Foerster-Sternwarte e.V. since its founding in 1965. Under the 20-meter dome, 291 visitors can find space, among other things, on comfortable reclining chairs. In the center of the hall stands a Zeiss Vb projector, retractable into the floor. It has been technically overhauled several times and was in use until 2023.
    As of 08/2026: Since July 9, 2023, the Planetarium am Insulaner has been closed for extensive renovation and modernization work and will be converted into an educational center in the coming years. The Wilhelm-Foerster Observatory remains open.
