Limburg in the flow of time

Based on the city motto – Limburg in the flow of time – the idea was born to create a science house as a “Zeitwerk” (clockwork). The leitmotif “Time” creates a bridge between city identity and mechanical themes. On the other hand, an impressive central exhibit is created by means of an oversized mechanical timepiece extending over two floors.

Zeitwerk and the time of the Limburgers

Interactive exhibits allow visitors to receive, record, use and invest time. As citizens of the city, they can also take part in building the clockwork – and also get involved socially, pass on knowledge or create something lasting.

Hear the heartbeat of the time donors in the exhibition. How much time do we have on the account?

Zeitwerk creates space

The development of the Zeitwerk is conceived as an open platform that invites participation in accordance with the participatory concept. The central exhibit “Zeitwerk” itself provides a framework that can be reconfigured for new interpretations and is thus also a stage for the commitment of the Limburgers.
