    The Analemmatic Sundial is located on the banks of the front Merseburg Gotthard Pond. A nearby plaque explains the plate embedded in the floor:

    The word comes from ancient Greek and means something like “auxiliary facility”. The historical sundial consists of an approximately 2m² paved area on which there is a marble slab and 17 fields with time information. If a visitor stands on the current name of the month, their own shadow serves as a clock hand.
