The Kuffner observatory is one of two telescope-equipped public astronomical observatories situated in Austria's capital, Vienna. It is situated in the West of the city's Ottakring district, on the slope of the Gallitzinberg at 302 m altitude. Originally a private research institution, it was converted into an educational astronomy facility after World War II as buildings and city lights had encroached to a degree that severely hampered scientific nightsky observations. Today the main tasks of the observatory consist in public education on astronomy, operating and preserving the historical equipment, and minor projects in scientific astronomy.

  • Die Kuffner-Sternwarte ist eine Volkssternwarte auf einer Anhöhe in Wien-Ottakring. Gegründet wurde sie 1884 als gut ausgerüstete Privatsternwarte mit angeschlossenem Forschungsinstitut. Seit 1982 wird sie von einem Verein geführt und bietet neben astronomischer Weiterbildung und wöchentlichen Sternführungen auch kulturelle Programme. Unter den vier Hauptteleskopen sticht der Heliometer hervor, das bis heute weltweit das größte Instrument seiner Art. (de)
  • El observatorio Kuffner es uno de los dos observatorios públicos equipados con telescopios situados en la capital de Austria, Viena. Se encuentra al oeste del distrito de Ottakring, en la ladera del monte a 302 m de altitud. Aunque originariamente se trataba de una institución científica privada, se convirtió en una instalación para la enseñanza de la astronomía después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial ya que la invasión de los edificios y las luces de la ciudad había llegado a un grado que dificultaban en gran medida las observaciones científica nocturnas. Actualmente, las tareas principales del observatorio consisten en la enseñanza pública de la astronomía, la operación y preservación del equipamiento histórico y proyectos menores de astronomía a nivel científico.

  • 庫夫納天文台(德語:Kuffner Sternwarte)是位於奧地利首都維也納的兩座天文台的其中一座。該天文台位於維也納西部奧塔克靈區(Ottakring),在腰上海拔302公尺處。該天文台最初是私人科學研究機構,第二次世界大戰以後因為維也納建築不斷增加,產生的光害妨礙了夜間天文觀測,因此逐漸轉型為天文教育機構。今日庫夫納天文台的主要任務是對大眾進行天文教育,操作和保存具有歷史價值的天文儀器,以及其他天文學小型研究項目。 (zh)

  • L'osservatorio Kuffner, è un osservatorio astronomico privato situato nel distretto di Ottakring, a Vienna. Costruito nel 1884 come istituto di ricerca privato e progettato dall'architetto , l'edificio fu finanziato da , un birraio proveniente da una nota famiglia locale di origine ebraica. Grazie agli investimenti di Kuffner nell'acquisto dell'equipaggiamento, esempio di mecenatismo illuminato, l'osservatorio acquisì presto notorietà per la sua rapida acquisizione di nuovi strumenti e per il crescente riconoscimento internazionale: nel 1890 possedeva il più grande eliometro al mondo e il più grande cerchio meridiano dell'impero austro-ungarico. La massima attività scientifica presso l'osservatorio si svolse nei suoi primi trent'anni di attività; fu temporaneamente inutilizzato durante le (it)
