Guided Story

Can you hear the clicking? Imagine standing in a room filled with vintage phones and telegraphs. Look around and discover the stories these devices tell. Behind you, there's an old rotary phone that was once the centerpiece of every home. Did you know that some of these phones were operated by a crank? To your left, there's a Morse device, once considered the fastest way to communicate. The sounds and mechanics of these devices were the soundtrack to an era when communication was an art form. And as you explore the exhibits, remember that just a short distance away stands the Kursächsische Postmeilensäule, a testament to early postal history.
