Abstract

AbstractThe Stockert radio telescope was inaugurated 50 years ago. It is the beginning of German radio astronomy after the World War II. The 25‐m dish was for a short time the largest radio telescope in the world. It certainly was the most precise radio telescope for many years. The Bonn University Observatory was the starting base for the future Max‐Planck‐Institut für Radioastronomie with its 100‐m Effelsberg radio telescope. The early years of German radio astronomy and what came afterwards is the subject of this contribution. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
