Europe in 1740
The Enlightenment changes the way many people and entire societies think, industrialisation has already taken its beginnings and begins to change the everyday working lives of many people. At the same time, the production of inexpensive wooden clocks in the farms and wood workshops of the Black Forest picks up speed. The young Anton Spiegelhalter from Lenzkirch-Kappel immediately recognises the potential of the Black Forest clock. He is one of the first to move to London to sell clocks. However, Anton is not only a visionary trader, but also a tinkerer and inventor - he experiments with clocks himself. But suddenly the young trader disappears under mysterious circumstances. All that remains is his stretcher with some strange clocks. What is it all about? And what happened to Anton?
Use Anton's clocks and some of his letters to find out his secret. But only at the right time does the veil seem to lift, because right at the beginning one of Anton's clocks starts ticking...
You will immerse yourself in the fascinating history of Black Forest clocks. You will travel through the idyllic nature of the Upper Black Forest, past beautiful landscapes and historical sites. Interactive tasks await you that require team spirit and brains as you turn back time and unravel the mystery of time. An exciting journey for friends, families or teams who love a thrill!
On the trail of the Black Forest clock - accompany Anton through an almost forgotten chapter of Lenzkirch's clock history.
