Palitzsch-Museum

A museum that must be rediscovered is the Heimat- and
Palitzsch-Museum in Prohlis.

Prohlis, Palitzsch and Planets
­
The permanent exhibition demonstrates the traces of the
Neolithic in the village and later housing development of
Prohlis in the south-west of Dresden. The life and work of the
farmer and astronomer Johann George Palitzsch of Prohlis
occupy a second section. In 1758 Palitzsch was the first to re-
discover the comet predicted by Edmond Halley and called
after him, Halley’s Comet, causing great excitement in the
academies of Europe. This exhibition reveals the fundamentals
of astronomy in a striking manner, looking back on the history
of astronomy and forwards to current space missions. The
highlight is a digital Planetarium (prior registration necessary!)
