For visitors to Petersberg, the sundial is not only an interesting architectural detail, but also an educational experience. It offers an opportunity to learn more about astronomy and the measurement of time in nature.
The sundial on Petersberg is therefore not only a practical tool for measuring time, but also a cultural and historical element that underlines the beauty and importance of this historic place.
