Kröpcke clock, Turret clock in Mitte, Germany
The Kröpcke clock stands at the intersection of Georgstrasse, Bahnhofstrasse, and Karmarschstrasse in central Hannover, marking a primary meeting location.
The original clock, installed in 1885 as a weather column with meteorological instruments, survived World War II but was replaced with a new structure in 1977.
The clock area serves as a performance space where musicians from partner cities like Poznań, Leipzig, and Rouen present concerts throughout the year.
The clock functions as a central navigation point in Hannover's pedestrian zone, accessible to wheelchairs and surrounded by numerous shops and restaurants.
The current structure maintains its role as a cultural space, featuring rotating art exhibitions and presentations within its glass enclosure.

Hanover offers a wide range of sights that reflect the history, culture, and architecture of the capital of Lower Saxony. The city is home to several important museums, including the State Museum with collections on art and natural history, and the Sprengel Museum for modern art. Historic buildings such as the New Town Hall with its large dome and the medieval Market Church shape the cityscape.
