Abstract: The geodesic equations resulting from the Schwarzschild gravitational metric element are solved exactly including the contribution from the Cosmological constant. The exact solution is given by genus 2 Siegelsche modular forms. For zero cosmological constant the hyperelliptic curve degenerates into an elliptic curve and the resulting geodesic is solved by the Weierstra$ss$ Jacobi modular form. The solution is applied to the precise calculation of the perihelion precession of the orbit of planet Mercury around the Sun.
