ABOUT THE CLOCK:

There are actually four round clocks, one on each side of the tower. Each clock background is black in the center-most area and trimmed with a black narrow band along the outer edge of the circle. A white background is present behind the numbers. The hour and minute clock hands are gold. Two additional smaller clock hands (presumably one is a second hand) are black. The times are in black Roman numerals with a single black tick mark in between each of the numbers.

ABOUT THE CHURCH:

"Mit dem Bau der Evangelischen Christuskirche in Salzburg wurde unmittelbar nach der Gemeindegründung im Jahr 1863 begonnen. Im Jahr 1867 war die Kirche im neugotischen Stil fertiggestellt.

Die Kirche ist aus rötlichem Backstein erbaut, gerahmt von Konglomeratgestein (Untersberger Konglomerat) und Kunststein.

Bis auf kleinere Veränderungen ist sie bis heute im Originalzustand erhalten. Die Kirche ist ein charakteristisches Beispiel für die sorgfältige Umsetzung des Eisenacher Regulativs von 1861."

"The construction of the Protestant Christ Church in Salzburg was started immediately after the church was founded in 1863. In 1867 the church was completed in the Gothic Revival style.

The church is built of reddish brick, framed by conglomerate (Unterberger conglomerate) and artificial stone.

Except for minor changes it is still preserved in its original state. The church is a typical example of the careful implementation of Eisenach Regulative of 1861."
