Radioteleskop Effelsberg

Bad Münstereifel

With a diameter of 100 metres, the Radio Telescope Effelsberg is one of the largest fully mobile radio telescopes on earth. Since its commissioning in 1972, the company has continuously worked on improving its technology (e. g. B. a new surface of the antenna dish, better receivers for highquality data, extremely lownoise electronics) so that even today it is still considered one of the most modern telescopes in the world. The telescope is used to observe pulsars, cold gas and dust clouds, star formation regions, matter jets emanating from black holes and the nuclei of distant galaxies. Effelsberg is an important station for the worldwide interconnection of radio telescopes. With this technique, the sharpest images of the cosmos can be taken. In order to improve this technology, the Institute is working in several projects together with national and international research institutes and other organizations

No sooner have people left the horrors of the two world wars behind them than the next war is already looming - the Cold War. These are the years of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the building of the Berlin Wall and nuclear armament. The great powers USA and the Soviet Union threaten each other with ever more powerful nuclear weapons. At any time the cold war can turn into a hot one.

LVR-Freilichtmuseum Kommern

History comes alive at the LVR open-air museum in Kommern: Chickens run around between the houses and peck at the ground, cattle graze peacefully in the pasture and fresh bread smells waft from the bakery. Visitors can wander through five different assemblies and their buildings. The journey through time in the Rhineland begins at the end of the 15th century and ends with the 20th century. Exhibitions and various festivals and markets, such as the Anno Dazumal fair, round off the museum experience.
