Join Fritz Fliege on a great space journey
A dandelion rocket, three curious friends, and infinite stars: In Fritz Fliege flies into outer space, children aged four and their families experience an imaginative family adventure at the PLANET KA Planetarium Karlsruhe. On Sunday, September 27, 2026, the approximately one-hour children's event takes participants from the flower meadow to the moon, Mars, and distant constellations.
A rocket made of dandelions and lots of imagination
Fritz, the curious fly, Sigrid, the wise spider, and Gustav, the brave grasshopper, launch into space with their self-built dandelion rocket. Together, the little heroes discover the moon, Mars, mysterious constellations, a talking stone, and even a real comet. The lovingly told story creates intimacy, excitement, and many moments of wonder.
Learning playfully with the moon, Mars, and stars
The child-friendly show combines imagination with initial scientific knowledge. Children learn about planets, stars, and constellations in a playful way and discover interesting facts about rockets, the moon, Mars, and its robotic vehicles. Interactive elements encourage thinking along and participating. This results in an age-appropriate learning experience that sparks curiosity and supports the development of a personal interest in natural sciences.
A special experience under the planetarium dome
Illustrations by Meike Weisner and impressive digital dome projections by Renate Heinrichs make the journey through the cosmos a sensory experience. Colors, light, and the large star dome allow children to immerse themselves deeply in the story. The family program comes from the creative minds of Renate Heinrichs and Meike Weisner from the Planetarium Bochum and combines educational fun with humor and adventure.
Well prepared for the family adventure
The event is aimed at children aged four and their entire family. The planetarium opens 30 minutes before the start. Since no late entry is possible, families should arrive on site at least five to ten minutes before the start of the event. Unused tickets expire without replacement.
