The Helmert Tower on Potsdam's Telegrafenberg has marked the zero point of Prussian-German land surveying since 1892 and is a testament to the geodetic-astronomical research of the 19th century. After a period of disuse, the ensemble comprising the Helmert Tower, the Meridian House, and the Latitude House has been undergoing extensive renovation since 2023.
The goal: to ensure the long-term preservation of the site through a new scientific use in the field of satellite observation.
As part of the 3rd Ortsgespräch, exchange talks with experts on the transformation process are planned. The program includes expert presentations, a site visit to the construction site, and a concluding discussion with experts.
