Simply observe the Foucault pendulum there and focus internally. Truly a work of art to experience, with no entry fee and in the middle of the city. Of course, it is most beautiful when there are few visitors. Addendum: From the end of November 2021, the renovated church with Richter's pendulum will be open again from Wednesday to Sunday. And one of the city of Münster's webcams now also allows a live view of the work of art from the dome. Very interesting to see from above.

This is a nice church with amazing architecture

Unbedingt ansehen der etwas Interesse an Physik hat. Eintritt kostenfrei. Gute Erklärung enthalten.

The large-scale physical experiment to prove the rotation of the earth by Léon Foucault garnished with two double mirrors by the grand master of German art Gerhard Richter combined to create a unique work of art.

with a little patience you can verify our movement under the pendulum 😀 the building, the installation by Gerhard Richter, but also the lady and gentleman who are ready to provide any information deserve more than five points 😉 entry is free 😀 Unfortunately, Google rejected our own photos showing progress on the degree scale.

Look and be amazed: Work of art in a former church and then by the famous Gerhard Richter! "Two gray double mirrors for a pendulum" Gerhard Richter's gift to the city  Gerhard Richter The painter and sculptor Gerhard Richter has created a work of art in the baroque Dominican Church in Münster that will take a prominent place on the map of Germany for those interested in culture and art: "Two gray double mirrors for a pendulum", a Foucault pendulum with a weight of 48 kilograms heavy metal ball that swings in the center of the building between four rectangular, mirrored glass panels on a 28.75 meter long stainless steel cable. For the viewer, a visit to the profaned church becomes an encounter with time and with their idea of ​​reality.

Simple interior with a large pendulum and works by Gerhard Richter

The installation of the pendulum there is very interesting. Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed in

Gerhard Richter's Foucault pendulum is worth a trip. But you should do some reading beforehand in order to be able to understand this geophysical phenomenon.

The authorship of G. Richter is interesting.

Two gray double mirrors for a pendulum. Gerhard Richter's gift to the city of Münster reopened.

Impressive installation by Gerhard Richter. The Foucault pendulum links the church to the rotation of the earth

Nice place.

Great, impressive church.

(Translated by Google) Not only since the pendulum a great place. (Original) Nicht erst seit dem Pendel ein toller Ort.

Ganz tolle Verbindung von historischem Ort, Physik und Kunst (Translated by Google) Great combination of historical place, physics and art

Helaas was er geen uitleg beschikbaar. Er was een grote cirkel met getallen er om heen. 12, 24,36 enzovoort… en dat 30x de bal hing aan een kabel die tot bovenin de koepel liep en leek te bewegen door “aardstralen ”? Uitleg was leuk geweest!

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately not accessible and surrounded by a construction site. If it changes, new pictures will follow. (Original) Leider nicht zugänglich und von einer Baustelle umgeben. Wenn es sich ändert folgen neue Bilder.

(Translated by Google) The dome of the Dominican Church towers over the buildings of the Salzstrasse and yet the baroque sandstone facade is almost drowned in the hustle and bustle. The church would also look good on a Roman plaza. (Original) Die Kuppel der Dominikanerkirche überragt die Gebäude der Salzstraße und doch geht die barocke Sandsteinfassade fast im geschäftigen Trubel unter. Dabei ständedie Kirche auch einer römischen Plazza gut zu Gesicht.

There were very few visitors there, so I was able to calmly get involved in the situation. Later a gentleman came and played “Great God, we praise you” on his trumpet. That was special...
