Weltzeituhr

The Weltzeituhr features four distinctive clock faces mounted on a glass and metal stele, accompanied by measuring instruments for temperature and weather conditions.

Created in October 1986 by designer Hendryk Spanier from VEB Uhrenwerk Weimar, this clock emerged during a period when public timepieces were scarce in the city.

The clock displays multiple time zones, connecting Weimar residents with international cities and reflecting the increasing globalization of the late 20th century.

Located at the intersection of Schillerstrasse and Schuetzengasse, the clock provides local time, temperature, air pressure, and humidity measurements for pedestrians.

The clock installation required an investment of 100,000 DDR-Mark, marking a substantial public infrastructure project in East Germany before reunification.
