German Clock Museum

The German Clock Museum is located near the city center of the Black Forest, a historic center of watchmaking. It houses many exhibitions specialized in the history of timekeeping watches. The museum is part of the Hochschule Furtwangen. The museum is dedicated to the history of timekeeping devices. The museum contains an extensive collection of clocks and other artefacts related to horology, not only those from the Black Forest, but also clocks from all over the world that stretch from prehistoric times to the present. The collection includes early cuckoo clocks from the 18th century as well as souvenir models of modern Black Forest clocks. The works of the famous architect Robert Gerwig formed the initial basis for the museum.
