Guided Story
Imagine holding an old rotary phone in your hand. Feel its weight? It takes you back to a time when dialing a number was a patience game. Now, look to your left, where you'll find an impressive collection of Morse code devices. Did you know Aachen played a crucial role during World War I in telecommunications? It was a hub for transmitting secret messages. Behind you, there's an interactive station where you can try sending a Morse message yourself. Fascinating, isn't it? And if you look up, you'll see the old telephone wires, reminding us just how far we've come.
