The Museum für Zeit - Palatinate Tower Clock Museum in Rockenhausen presents a collection of historical timekeeping devices, an astronomical clock and a carillon in a former homestead . It has a rich library with special literature on the subject of time measurement . Copper engravings and illustrations on the subject as well as special library copies are on display .
The museum, founded by Knut Deutschle in 1979, was initially called the clock room or the Palatinate clock room because of its small collection. As a result, interesting tower clocks were collected and restored. Today the museum has 50 tower clocks, the largest of which is over 3 meters tall. The museum was then called the Palatinate Tower Clock Museum . With the expansion of the collection to include wall clocks , grandfather clocks , sundials , water clocks and hourglasses , the term Museum for Time was added to the name.
Under the gable of the museum there is a carillon with 37 bells , which was installed in 2014 for 91,000 euros, of which 45,000 euros were provided by the EU. The city was advised by the Würzburg musicologist Dr. Jürgen Buchner , who is also a graduate of the Jef Deyn Royal Carillon School in Mechelen .
