At the site where the Nebra Sky Disk was discovered, a 30-meter-high observation tower now stands on the Mittelberg mountain. The modern tower is tilted 10° and oriented north-south, like a sundial hand. It provides a view of astronomically significant points such as the Brocken and makes Bronze Age celestial observations more comprehensible. The tower symbolizes the interplay of heaven, earth, and humanity—then as it does today—and is freely accessible to visitors at all times.
