Baader Planetarium, founded in 1966 near Munich, Germany, is a renowned manufacturer and distributor of astronomical instruments. The company has produced over 15,000 school-type planetaria and more than 500 observatory domes worldwide. With deep historical roots in optics going back to 1852, Baader carries on a legacy of innovation that began with Michael Baader’s acclaimed refractor telescopes and continued through Claus Baader’s patented orrery, which earned international praise for its mechanical sophistication. Today, Baader’s domes are used in robotic observatories under extreme conditions, including Germany’s Zugspitze and Switzerland’s Jungfraujoch.
In addition to manufacturing, Baader acts as a key importer and service provider for major brands like Astro-Physics, SBIG, and Carl Zeiss Amateur Telescope products. Their commitment to quality and astronomical education is also recognized by the naming of Minor Planet 5658 "clausbaader" in honor of their founder. Baader is known for developing innovative accessories and safety tools like the widely used AstroSolar film, and continues to support amateur and professional astronomers across Europe with precision-engineered solutions for observation, imaging, and education.
