Furtwangen
Deutsches Uhrenmuseum
In midst of the clock region it becomes evident how intensive
the Black Forest is characterized by the clock industry. From
the sun dial clock to an atomic clock, from the precious pendulum
to the kitchen clock – this famous collection presents also
an international overall perspective in view of time measuring
possibilities.

ErfinderZeiten: Auto- und Uhrenmuseum
(DeSign of Times: Car, Clock and Watch Museum)
"UhrZeiten" (Time for clocks): You will experience a
unique time travel through the history of the clock in the Black
Forest. Pioneering spirit, inventions and industrialization
accompany you on this way. In historical shop windows the
triumphal progress of the clock can be seen. The radical change
from mechanical clocks to quartz clocks is reflected in the time
measurement by Junghans for the Olympics of 1972. The strive for
precision pinnacles in the development of the radio controlled
clock.
"MobileZeiten" (Time for car): More than 200 vehicles
from the collection of Martin Sauter show the beginning of
mechanization in Germany and answer the question of how life went
on after Second Wald War. You will see the first, partly home-made
automobiles and exotic two-wheelers. Further you will see engines
which use wood for fuel because gasoline was too expensive. You
will also see vehicles for war affected persons. Small cars
followed the two-wheelers. Then-popular brands such as
Messerschmitt and Lloyd are on display - witnesses to a generation
full of energy and pioneering spirit. And finally the economic
miracle started and Germany went mobile.
