A technical and complete work of art
The Festo TechnologyCentre features a symbolic attraction. The Harmonices Mundi. A technical, complete work of art comprised of three parts: a world clock, an astronomical clock and a carillon. They symbolise the innovative power and precision work of the company.
The Harmonices Mundi is a synthesis of astronomy, mechanics, melodics and electronics. The name is based on the title of a book by Johannes Kepler which was published in 1619. In his book, Kepler defines the laws of planetary motion. Fascinated by historical astronomy, Prof. Dr. Scheurenbrand (former member of the management board) spent many years constructing the Harmonices Mundi for Festo in his spare time.
