President Vladimir Putin and German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder examined one of the Gottorf Castle's main sights — the Gottorf Great Globe

December 21, 2004, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany

The Great Globe is a functioning model, restored in 2004, of the original globe, which is in the M.V. Lomonosov Museum in St. Petersburg.

The globe is a two-walled hollow sphere with a diameter of more than three metres, inside which is a planetarium.

After looking at the globe, Mr Schroeder hosted a dinner in the Gottorf Castle’s Deer Room for the participants in the consultations.
