Special exhibition "ZEITSPRUNG - 100 years of the astronomical art clock"
It was completed in October 1925 by its builder Hermann Goertz after a good three decades of construction. To mark the occasion, the Clock Museum opened a special exhibition dedicated to the art clock in September. Entitled ZEITSPRUNG, the exhibition takes visitors on a journey back in time to 1925, when the clock was completed.
Various themes are used to bring the technical and social conditions of the time to life and show the challenges Hermann Goertz had to overcome while working on his masterpiece. The exhibition also provides vivid insights into the interior of the clock. The perpetual calendar, the astronomical functions and the materials used in the construction of the clockwork have been selected as central elements.
