架构师提供的文本描述。1999年，未经许可的寻宝者出土了一件非凡的考古遗迹：一个有3，600年历史的天盘，用金镶嵌的青铜制成。它描绘了复杂的星座和太阳驳船的象征，代表着太阳从西到东的夜间通道。为了设计一个公共考古中心和一座了望塔，设计了一项建筑竞赛，这将展示光盘，并成为该地区的象征。

Text description provided by the architects. In 1999, unlicensed treasure hunters unearthed a remarkable archaeological relic: a 3,600-year-old sky disc made of bronze inlaid with gold. It depicts complex constellations and the symbol of the solar barge representing the sun’s nightly passage from west to east. An architectural competition was launched to design a public archaeological centre and an observation tower that would showcase the disc and come to symbolize the region.

我们选择了太阳驳船的标志来建造中心。从远处可以看到，建筑物的主体上覆盖着黄色的阳极氧化铝，似乎漂浮在玻璃覆盖的入口层之上，而入场券和咖啡厅就在那里。这艘60米长的抽象船有两个展厅和天文馆.

We chose the symbol of the solar barge for the construction of the centre. Visible from far away, the body of the building is covered with yellow anodized aluminium and appears to float above the glass-encased entry level, in which the admission desk and café are located. The 60-metre-long abstracted ship houses two exhibition rooms and the planetarium.

连接底层和第一层的开放垂直中庭象征着与天堂的关系。粗糙的灰泥基地，会议室和办公室似乎都是从山坡上冒出来的。

The open vertical atrium connecting the ground floor to the first floor symbolizes the relationship to the heavens. The rough plastered base housing the seminar rooms and offices appears to emerge from the hillside.

永久展览探索了发现的地点和历史环境，而围绕在它周围的巨大的画窗向游客展示了米特尔贝格山和观景塔的景色。临时展览空间的全景窗口提供了昂斯鲁特河的景色。

The permanent exhibition explores the site of the discovery and the historical environment, while the immense picture window surrounding it presents visitors with a vista of the Mittelberg mountain and the observation tower. The panoramic window of the temporary exhibition space offers a view of the Unstrut river.

发现圆盘的确切地点是一个30米高的圆锥塔，形成了一个从远处可以看到的地标。它向顶部扩展，向北倾斜10度，然后被垂直裂缝隔开，延伸到整个高度，以标志夏至，它复制了天空盘作为阳历的功能。每天都有一次太阳穿过垂直的开口处，向80公里外的布罗肯山指示视线，就像布罗肯是青铜时代天空圆盘的参照点一样。

The exact site where the disc was discovered is marked by a 30-metre-high conical tower, creating a landmark that can be seen from far around. Widening towards the top, inclined 10 degrees to the north and divided by a vertical crevice extending over its full height to mark the summer solstice, it replicates the function of the sky disc as a solar calendar. Once a day the sun passes through the vertical opening, indicating the line of sight towards the Brocken mountain some 80 kilometres away, just as the Brocken served as a reference point for the sky disc in the Bronze Age.
