Abstract
The integration of the 2m Fraunhofer telescope started in August 2011 at the Mt. Wendelstein observatory. The logistics of the project are a key problem of the integration as the observatory has no road access. All large or heavy components inlcuding the primary mirror were successfully delivered by helicopter. Meanwhile, they are integrated in the telescope. The special design features of this alt-az telescope are its compactness and the low-ghost wide field optics (0.7 deg. f.o.v. diameter).
We will briefly report on tests of the building and of the telescope system before the telescope moved to the mountain. The integration at the observatory and the first astronomical performances tests of the telescopes are discussed, and a brief update on the status of its instruments is presented. We comment on the cleaning and recoating strategy for the primary mirror based on sample tests.
