The old town of Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, offers lots of historic sights, but the centerpiece is the Freiburg Minster cathedral and in its center is this clock. Study it closely and you’ll see the signs of the zodiac. Above it is the coat of arms. However, far more famous in the Black Forest is the cuckoo clock. It was first designed in 1629 and became popular in southwest Germany in the mid-18th century.
