Weltzeituhr, Public clock at Schillerstrasse, Weimar, Germany
The Weltzeituhr is a public clock on Schillerstrasse in Weimar with four clock faces mounted on a glass and metal structure. It provides local time along with measurements of temperature, air pressure, and humidity for pedestrians.
The clock was designed and built in October 1986 by designer Hendryk Spanier from VEB Uhrenwerk Weimar. Its installation came at a time when public timepieces were still uncommon in the city.
The clock displays multiple time zones and connects Weimar residents with major cities around the world. This reflects how interconnected the city has become with global places.
The clock sits at the intersection of Schillerstrasse and Schuetzengasse, making it easy to spot while walking through the area. The location provides quick access to time and weather information for anyone passing by.
The installation was carried out by VEB Uhrenwerk Weimar, a factory that specialized in high-quality timepieces. This project showcases the craftsmanship of the local watch-making industry during the East German era.
