EN: The "Polarization Clock Prodomus" stands in a meadow next to the Goethanum in Dornach.
It consists of bent metal tubes and a round semi-transparent element at the top. The dark spokes in this disc change their direction depending on the location of the sun. However, it is not entirely clear, nor is there any explanation for whether any information gathered, e.g. about the time and if so, how to do that. In any case, the structure is called a clock. It was created in 1961 by Mario Howald-Haller.
DE: Die "Polarisationsuhr Prodomus" steht in einer Wiese neben dem Goethanum in Dornach.
Es besteht aus gebogenen Metallröhren und einem runden halbtransparenten Element an der Spitze. Die dunklen Speichen in dieser Scheibe ändern ihre Richtung je nach Sonnenstand. Allerdings ist nicht ganz klar und auch nirgends erklärt, ob man damit irgendwelche Informationen, z.B. über die Zeit erhält und wenn ja, wie. Jedenfalls wird das Gebilde als Uhr bezeichnet. Es wurde 1961 von Mario Howald-Haller erstellt.
