Two volunteers hold the nine-meter-long pendulum for an hour on Saturday evening. Josef Traxler and Josef Fenzl have been friends since school – and twice a year something else connects them: they climb the 33 narrow and steep steps to the clock in the tower of the parish church and set the 19th century clockwork in summer or winter. Winter time mode. While the change to summer time means that you really have to turn the clock with pliers, the change to winter time is more comfortable: “We then simply stop the pendulum for an hour,” explains Traxler. The two while away the waiting time with a coffee or a beer. “The real difficulty is not to overlook the time.”
