The Triebenberg (383 m) is a little prominent mountain in the Schönfeld highlands in Saxony . Since the incorporation of Schönfeld-Weißig , the Triebenberg has been the highest elevation in the urban area of Dresden .
Location and surroundings
It is located about 15 km east of the city center, about 1.5 km east of Reitzendorf . Its top tip is wooded, the slopes are used for agriculture. In the GDR era, a Soviet military post was located on the summit plateau, well camouflaged behind a pine forest. Even today, a concrete runway leads down to the Eschdorf estate . After the withdrawal of the Russian Army from Germany in 1994, a branch of the Technical University of Dresden is located on the Triebenberg .
Triebenberg Laboratory
Until September 2017, a special laboratory for high-resolution electron microscopy and electron holography of the Institute for Structural Physics of the TU Dresden (ISP) was located on the mountain . The location for this laboratory was chosen because of its remoteness and the consequent freedom from electromagnetic interference that could otherwise affect microscopy. The laboratory and the attached observatory were finally closed in October 2017.
observatory
On July 18, 2007 , the new observatory of the TU Dresden was opened on the premises of the TUD branch in Triebenberg. It was equipped with the latest observation technology, for example to determine the astrometric positions of asteroids on their orbit around the sun . The main instrument was a reflecting telescope (60cm, f / 4, Newton construction) with an astronomical CCD camera (16 megapixels ). After only 10 years, the observation station, which was built with great effort, was closed in October 2017 and the telescope technology was auctioned.
Visual observations were not possible, the TU Dresden has the Lohrmann Observatory at the Beyer building on the main campus available. The Triebenberg location is less exposed to light and air pollution than the city observatory, but is still within reasonable reach of the university.
