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

Urfttalsperre

The Urft Dam is the oldest valley dam in the Eifel and is located in the middle of the Eifel National Park. At the time, the dam was planned as the largest structure in Europe. Construction of the 266 m long wall made of quarry stones began in 1899 - in May 1905 the dam was filled with water for the first time. In addition to flood protection and energy generation, the aim of the hydraulic engineering measure was to supply the region with drinking water. With a length of 12 km, a width of up to 1 km and a maximum depth of 52 m, Lake Urft has a capacity of 45.5 million cubic metres. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
