Historical Technology Center in Halle, Germany Reopens for a Family-Friendly Event
Get ready for an educational and fun-filled day at the Historical Technology Center (HTZ) in Halle, Germany! Located at the former transformer station on Lutherplatz, the HTZ will reopen its doors on August 16, 2025, from 1 to 5 pm.
This event is a fantastic opportunity for families to explore the rich history of Halle (Saale) and learn about various technological advancements. Admission to the HTZ remains free, making it an accessible and enjoyable experience for all.
The HTZ will serve as an experience space, offering interactive learning modules for visitors of all ages. The day's activities will include three learning modules: the Historical Exhibition, the SWH Discovery Station, and the Measurement Lab.
The Historical Exhibition showcases the technical history of Halle (Saale) and covers topics like power supply, tram history, and sewer cleaning, demonstrating the development of Stadtwerke services over the years.
At the SWH Discovery Station, visitors can engage in 12 interactive activities related to energy, waste disposal, informatics, and mobility. One can learn to charge a smartphone with a hand crank or power a gaming console with a bicycle. An interactive activity also explains proper waste disposal and energy conservation.
The Measurement Lab offers opportunities to explore the world of measurement and answer questions about physical quantities like length, weight, heat, movement, light, and pressure. Various experiments and measuring devices from earlier times are available for visitors to interact with.
Moreover, the family day will feature a Tram Simulator, allowing visitors to practice driving a tram. For the youngest guests, giant soap bubbles, a coloring and craft street, and the traditional Rotary Duck Race's 100 ducks will be provided.
Interactive stations encourage visitors of all ages to explore and answer quiz questions for potential prizes. The Duck Race will take place on August 30, 2025, at the Saale beach on Ziegelwiese.
