Kröpcke clock, Turret clock in Mitte, Germany
The Kröpcke clock is a turret clock positioned at the junction of Georgstrasse, Bahnhofstrasse, and Karmarschstrasse in central Hannover. It stands at a main intersection within the pedestrian shopping area and is surrounded by stores and restaurants.
The original clock was installed in 1885 as a weather column equipped with meteorological instruments. After surviving World War II, it was replaced with a new structure in 1977.
The clock area regularly hosts musicians performing throughout the year and serves as a gathering space for the city. It functions as a cultural meeting point that shapes how locals experience the center of Hannover.
The clock sits in the pedestrian shopping zone and is easily accessible by wheelchair. It serves as a natural reference point for navigation and meeting in central Hannover.
The current structure houses rotating art exhibitions within its glass enclosure. These temporary installations turn the space into a living gallery set within the busy shopping district.
