World time clock on Alexanderplatz: 23,000 euros for repair after accident!

The world clock at Berliner Alexanderplatz is again the focus after a spectacular truck accident! The repair of the iconic clock will cost an impressive 23,000 euros and take four weeks. No joke - the district office Mitte has blamed the insurance of the vegetable driver for the necessary maintenance work, which collided with the important landmark on September 2nd.

short repair time, high costs

The repair work begins this week, but the costs are only borne by the insurance company. A complete recovery of the damaged metal plates will be required. The clock continues to tick, but now proudly bears a dent on the record with the inscription "Wellington". These special metal plates are not easy to replace, hence the long duration of the repair.

This is not the first time that the world clock is in the headlines. It was only in November last year that the climate transformed the clock into a color painting when they sprayed color with fire extinguishers. The removal of this vandalism costs around 14,000 euros.

The world clock is not just a technical masterpiece that shows the time zones of the earth and serves as a meeting point for appointments. It is also a listed building and attracts tourists from all over the world. Now it means to wait: Will the clock shine in old splendor after the repair or will it remain another topic for the media?
