The clock in the Chapel of the Dance of Death is a replica of the clock that was burnt in March 1942.
Detailed description
The façade is divided into three parts: at the bottom is the calendar disc, in the middle is the planetarium with the zodiac, sun and moon with the phases of the moon displayed. Above this is the circle of figures with eight representatives of the peoples of the earth.
If you are in the church at 12.00 noon, you can take a look at the orbit of figures: the eight people step out of the dark door on the left one after the other, are blessed by Jesus - in the red cloak - and disappear through the brightly lit door on the right.
Incidentally, the astronomical clock is preset to the year 2080. So you can already see which day your next round birthday will fall on.
