Bad Karlshafen | Perpetuum
During the current restoration work on the baroque harbour basin in Bad Karlshafen, an incredible discovery has been made: packed airtight in a sealed box is the world's only preserved blueprint of a perpetual motion machine. The "Eternal Wheel" is the invention of Johann Bessler - Medicus, Mechanicus and confidant of the Landgrave. Is it possible to reconstruct this wonder wheel 300 years later? Is there really such a thing as a perpetual motion machine? And will Bad Karlshafen become world famous as a result?
Theater Anu promises a CITY IN RAUSH with its latest production.

The production is accompanied by an exhibition, which is placed in several baroque houses around the harbour during and also after the performance. After the end of the performance, it will be enriched by further exhibits from the production. Exhibition period: 12 May to 14 October | Admission free
