K.A.R. Bosscha; Honorary Citizen
The effort to build an Observatory in Dutch-East Indies was not easy.
The area for the location of the Observatory was a piece of granted land in Lembang, an area on the northern side of Bandung. Meanwhile, the house of K.A.R. Bosscha was located in Malabar, an area on the southern side of Bandung. In order to get to the observatory from his house, Bosscha had to travel for 3 days by horse-cart.
