Tips

Andrea und Huskys 🐺

Professor Marian Karel proposed the installation of the Time Gate during the reconstruction and renovation of the Cheb pedestrian zone in 2009 and 2010. His art object became part of the renovation concept. The monumental Time Gate represents a door leading to a house that no longer exists and which once stood here, and on whose site the medieval town of Cheb opened its gate to the industrial age and the future. The artefact rotates on its own axis, quite unobtrusively, 180 degrees in 24 hours. At midnight it is in the "closed" position. At noon it is in the "open" position. Now the sides of the artefact are connected to the timeline of the most important dates in Cheb's history. This timeline leads through the entire pedestrian zone, up to the year 2011, the year in which the town celebrated its 950th anniversary. The Time Gate is nine meters high, two meters wide and weighs 3.5 tons.

The time gate, which rotates slowly, optically separates the market square from the pedestrian zone twice a day.

The time gate is a wonderful idea and those who implemented it. A lot of interesting and worth knowing about the history of Cheb.
