At the blue hour on the town hall tower

Technology at the top

During this guided tour at the blue hour, you will learn interesting facts about the technology in the town hall tower.

The historic clock case provides a rare insight into the inner workings. How did the old town hall clock work? The Hof town fire led to the destruction of the tower clock and the bells. But why do today's bells read 1917? We also explore the question of how the sound of bells is created in the first place.

Are there still working wheel clocks in Hof today? Today, the janitor sets the clock using his smartphone - but how did he find out the correct time in the past?
