The first written mention of the Perseids is found in the Chinese chronicles about two thousand years ago. You can observe them in mid-August.

Bulk / Petersdorf / Streitberg / Strand • On the calendar – mid-August, which means that you need to look not at the calendar, but at the sky, at least at night. After all, it's time to make wishes again, looking out and counting the shooting stars from the Perseid meteor shower.
The number of burning meteorites from this stream can reach two hundred per hour, but is it possible to remember or come up with so many desires at such a rate that must necessarily come true? These photos of shooting stars or just a very beautiful sky were taken in different places in Germany on the night of Friday 13 August.
