Ankeruhr (7.11.08)

There is a strange clock on the oldest square of Vienna (Hoher Markt). 12 various figures go around its face during the day and at twelve all of them move to the rhythm of music attracting well-orientated tourists.



The clock was built in 1911 and shows the figures of following people: Marcus Aurelius, Charles the Great, Leopold VI, Walther von der Vogelweide, King Rudolf, Hans Puchsbaum, Maximilian I, Andreas von Liebenberg, Rudiger von Starhemberg, Prince Eugene of Savoy, Maria Teresa with her husband and Joseph Haydn. Dressed in smart clothes, they proudly show minutes and during the midday parade they move around slowly. Music changes from time to time – suitably to the age in which a particular person lived.



It seems it's my Viennese substitute of the Poznań's goats:)
