Mengenlehreuhr, Public clock at Budapester Straße, Germany
The Berlin Clock displays time through a vertical arrangement of 24 colored lights organized in five distinct rows on its rectangular structure.
Inventor Dieter Binninger created this timepiece in 1975, initially placing it at Kurfürstendamm before its relocation to Europa-Center in 1995.
The clock functions as a mathematical representation of time, reflecting German precision engineering through its systematic light-based time display method.
Visitors can determine the current time by counting illuminated fields: red lights for hours, yellow and red for five-minute intervals, yellow for single minutes.
This clock connects to the Kryptos sculpture at CIA headquarters, where encrypted messages reference its mathematical time-telling system.
