It is a circular moat with a diameter of 75 meters from the Middle Neolithic period . It documents the beginning of a millennia-old tradition of early celestial studies, as shown on the Nebra Sky Disc , which was found in 1999 only 25 km away. By means of sighting devices, people could z. B. determine exactly the dates of the summer or winter solstice . The reconstruction of the observatory was opened at the winter solstice on December 21, 2005 with a light and fire spectacle.
