Mystery Clock
Posted November 7, 2009

Why does the clock tower in Salzburg have 11 hours and not 12?
We were there in May this year and the photo I have (I think it is of the town hall) shows the numbers going around the face from 1 to 11 . There is the number 11, not 12, in Roman numerals at the top. There is no odd space as if a number fell off or anything, just the numbers neatly placed around the clock. It looks quite normal and I never noticed at the time, however someone looking at my photo album pointed it out to me this weekend. I have looked on the internet for an answer but no luck. The pictures I have found of the same tower show 12 numbers, not 11, so this must have been a new thing they did to it. Some strange restoration perhaps?
I was wondering what a local man was saying to me when I took the picture but he was speaking in German and I didn't understand him at all. He must have been explaining it to me I suppose. Hopefully someone will be able to solve this mystery.
I was there in may as well, this is an interesting remark, I will go now and check out my pic's to see it too, and I will follow the answers you get, or if i find out, i will let you know.
