The Stockert observatory, which came into operation in 1956, hosted the first German radio telescope. It consists of two telescopes, with details as follows:
Main Antenna:
| geographic longitude: | 06° 43′ 19″ |
| geographic latitude: | 50° 34′ 10″ |
| antenna diameter: | 25 m |
| minimum elevation: | -2° |
| gain at 10 GHz: | 48 dBi |
Frequencies used:
| Frequency band | Observing mode |
| 1.4 – 4 GHz | single dish |
Second antenna:
| geographic longitude: | 06° 43′ 26″ |
| geographic latitude: | 50° 34′ 10″ |
| antenna diameter: | 10 m |
| gain at 10 GHz: | 55 dBi |
Frequencies used:
| Frequency band | Observing mode |
| 9.5 – 12 GHz | single dish |
It is currently used for various observational and educational projects, including pulsar and solar observations.
