Prominently visible from the cathedral square, the Science Centre Wetzlar moves into the center of the old town. In the newly built Domhöfe, the 800 sqm exhibition area will extend over two floors. There is hardly a city where innovation and inventiveness in the fields of mechanics, electronics and optics are as concentrated as in Wetzlar. The Science Centre Wetzlar reflects this: School classes, locals and tourists of all ages can get to the heart of the laws of physics with attractive interactive hands-on exhibits.

We’re surrounded by technology. But what are the natural laws behind it? In the Science Centre Wetzlar, visitors explore the phenomena behind things and experience what technology is all about. How does light move? How precise can movement be? And what is the voltage in electronics? A whole range of experiments unfolds, which are all directly linked to our everyday lives.

Cooperation with regional companies will also bring benefits for everyone involved: From kindergarten age on, the exhibition will arouse interest in the topics of optics, electronics and mechanics. Topics that will later play an important role in many professions of importance to the region. Young people meet various professionals on their ‘career paths’ who talk about their everyday working lives and modern developments. In addition, they also give insights into their workplaces. And conversely, the young people (and other guests) can create their own profile in which they compare their personal interests with career opportunities in the companies.
