The astronomical clock is a black stone monument featuring a modern artistic sculpture combined with a clock mechanism. It symbolizes conflict and peace, commemorating the city's resistance during the Thirty Years War. The installation is notable for its rotating parts and a unique daily event at 11:00 AM when a glass marble is released as part of the clock's mechanism.

Recognized as a piece of modern public art, the clock is considered a hidden gem and an intriguing example of modernist architecture with a touch of phallic design elements. Positioned in a prominent public square, it attracts interest for its artistic value, technical features, and unusual aesthetic, representing both historical significance and contemporary cultural expression.
