Weltzeituhr

This famous world clock from the 60s (to the 20th anniversary of the GDR) indicates the time in the 24 main time zones of the world for 148 listed cities and is now a listed building.

The World Clock on the Alex is a very popular meeting place for everyone. It was handed over almost at the same time with the television tower.

The World Clock in Berlin shows the time in any place in the world. But you should be able to read it ...

The world clock is on Alexanderplatz and it was set up in 1969 in GDR times.

By reading the markings on the metal top, the current time in 148 major cities around the world can be determined.
A stone mosaic is embedded in the floor, which depicts a compass rose. A three-part cylinder is mounted on a 2.7 meter high column with a diameter of 1.5 meters. 24 corners is the base area, therefore also 24 sides. Each of the pages corresponds to one of the 24 time zones on earth.
Above the world clock, the solar system with planets is shown in a simplified form, seen as balls, which rotates per minute.
There is a myth among Berliners that if lovers hold hands under the world clock at midnight, they will stay together forever.

The world clock is by Erich John.
He was one of the leading industrial designers in the GDR and was a professor at the famous Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weißensee. Its products have been sold in Australia, Sweden and Switzerland. Erich John designed cocktail shakers, vacuum cleaners, typewriters, car steering wheels (“Wartburg”) and a microscope that entire generations of students looked through in biology class. But his most famous work is in the middle of Berlin, on Alexanderplatz.
