Installation of the new projection<br />
systems will take place in August and<br />
September 2012, together with a renovation<br />
or renewal of seats, carpeting,<br />
projector shelves and the lighting cove.<br />
The modernizing project is possible<br />
thanks to generous grants by the city of<br />
Laupheim, the district of Biberach, the<br />
Biberach Savings Bank, the Oberschwäbische<br />
Elektrizitätswerke OEW, and<br />
countless private sponsors. The obser-<br />
vatory society will contribute more than<br />
10 % of the project funding in the form<br />
of self-generated funds and voluntary<br />
work.<br />
The new stars are scheduled to illuminate<br />
the sky in Laupheim’s planetarium<br />
from mid-October, 2012.<br />
