Tips

Anyone entering the "Museum for Time" in Rockenhausen in the Palatinate has the feeling from the outside that they are going on a journey through time. A former farm from the 18th century houses the Museum of Time - Pfälzisches Turmuhrenmuseum. If we did not know better, we would actually have to feel transported back into the world of the Baroque. If there were not the big clock tower that welcomes us and houses a clock that is anything but yesterday's: the most technologically advanced and accurate astronomical clock in Europe. In the interior of the building - how could it be otherwise - hammering, tapping and ticking the gear mechanisms of numerous tower clocks and small exhibits ceaselessly.

Experience time - in the Museum of Time with the more than three meter high machines from five centuries, the old tower clocks, with rare precision and garden sundials, with graceful travel sundials and the tranquil hourglasses ...

Watching the leisurely ticking, the interlocking of drive and tooth and thus the passage of time is an experience.

The heart of the museum is the clock tower with the Rockenhausen astronomical clock. It is one of the most accurate and versatile of modern astronomical clocks. It shows the planets and phases of the moon, rise and set of the sun, moon, planets and fixed stars and the movement of over 400 stars.
