Their enthusiasm has constantly motivated us to stick to our commitment, which we gladly did.<\/p>\n On Friday, 23 September, the Society held a festive matin\u00e9e for invited guests at Holborn’s House in G\u00f6ttingen. The focus of this event within the framework of the festive week for the 100th anniversary of the “Deutsche Geophysikalische Gesellschaft” (German Geophysical Society), founded on the initiative of Prof. Emil Wiechert, were the lectures by<\/p>\n Dr. Andreas F\u00f6rster, Berlin, on “Alexander von Humboldt and Carl Friedrich Gauss – pioneers of geomagnetism” and<\/p>\n Dr. Bernd Leiss, University of G\u00f6ttingen, on “Seismology in G\u00f6ttingen from 1908 to today, application to a geothermal project”.<\/p>\n The weekend before, on 18 September, the association invited all interested parties to a special “Open Day” with guided tours and activities for adults and children.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”200″ img_size=”large” onclick=”link_image”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n In addition, we organise guided tours for interested people and groups.

Registrations are not required – but welcome. The current corona rules apply. We ask that you wear an FFP2 mask (from 14 years) indoors.<\/p>\n For larger tours, smaller groups will be formed to visit the interior rooms. Depending on the weather, as much of the tour as possible will take place outside – please make sure you wear weatherproof clothing.<\/p>\n Since taking over the site as the association “Wiechert’sche Erdbebenwarte G\u00f6ttingen e.V.”, we have endeavoured to open the area to interested people to make the history of science come alive.<\/p>\n To be honest, we did not expect such huge crowds of families, groups, interested people and scientists over the years. Their enthusiasm has constantly motivated us to stick to our commitment, which we gladly did.<\/p>\n This is why a guided tour of the buildings and the site takes place on the first Sunday of each month from 2.00 p.m., the highlight being the drop of the four-tonne Mintrop ball.<\/p>\n —————————<\/p>\n<\/a>Guided tours & Events<\/h1>\n
\n
\nStart time:<\/strong> 2:00 PM at the Earthquake Observatory site
\nDuration:<\/strong> Approximately 1.5 to 2 hours
\nCost:<\/strong> These tours are free of charge and led by long-standing members of our association on a voluntary basis.
\nAs we rely on donations to preserve the observatory, we would greatly appreciate a small contribution.
\nEven a donation of \u20ac5 per visitor helps us cover our most urgent expenses.<\/p>\n\n
\nThese are also conducted by our dedicated volunteer members.<\/p>\n
\nWe kindly ask for a donation of at least \u20ac75 per group<\/strong> as a contribution to the upkeep of the observatory
\n(exceptions possible for school classes).
\nWe will confirm as soon as possible whether your requested date can be arranged.
\nIf your tour is scheduled far in advance, we kindly ask you to reconfirm approximately two weeks before.<\/p>\n\n
\n
\nWe recommend sturdy footwear suitable for forest paths<\/strong> and weather-appropriate clothing<\/strong>.
\nEven in summer, a jumper or light jacket<\/strong> is advisable, as the thick-walled, windowless earthquake houses are often quite cool.<\/p>\n
\nWe do not recommend tours for children under 10 years of age (especially school classes up to Year 5),
\nas the content is difficult to present in an age-appropriate way.
\nOf course, families are welcome to bring younger children at their own discretion.<\/p>\nLookimg back: ANNIVERSARY DAY Sat. August 23, 2 p.m. to approx. 5:30 p.m. – 20 years Wiechert’sche Erdbebenwarte association – more information to follow<\/span><\/h2>\n
