Let me put back the question: what added value to humanity has a video about a museum, when the makers don't even tell the name of the museum or where it is, and that only shows two young people fooling around in it ? Obviously the makers didn't do their homework and don't know anything about the economic and cultural history of the region to which the museum is related. It contains several private collections now housed in a municipal museum. Clockmaking once was the economic backstay of the region, but obviously the video-maker have neither interest in that, nor in the clock-making technology and the societal background to it. Nor do they know anything about the post-WWII struggle of Germany to get back to their feet. The video reveals more about the lack of general education of the makers than its subject. At least I became aware of this museum that is just around the corner from the major watch- and clock-making town of Villingen-Schwenningen with its own industrial museum.
@@eberhardfalck7215 Maybe you should do a whole 4 hr vid on whatever the story is. Then the rest of the world could be a genius like you. Maybe , If I actually cared about anything you said, I, or anyone else, could do the research ourselves. But I know I wont because I don't care. I and most others, just appreciate the fun of seeing things that I haven't seen before and I don't have to be a expert on the subject. Maybe, since you are better than the rest of the world, you should keep you nasty comments to yourself. Stop looking at such pedestrian things on utube and go back to the selfish, and self righteous world you came from.
A kind person could have just added to the thread with the info you provided and not be a hateful shithead in the process. There's no need for you to display a superiority complex , just tell the story. Be thankful that anyone bothered to share this at all. I see that you didn't take the time to make a better vid of such a crucial topic, but you did take the time to insult others. Shows what kind of a worthless person you are. Don't help, just insult it. I just thought it was fun. Wasn't looking to go to college over it.
I just handled the estate of my late uncle who was in Germany during and after WWII and played a big part in the Berlin Air Lift. He had the exact same wine bar in his house Thanks for posting.
We had a Goggommobil like that red one in the UK an the early 70s. Ours was pale blue. 293 cc air cooled 2-stroke (premix) twin cylinder engine in the rear with its transaxle, crash box with synchro on 1st, no fuel gauge but it had a reserve tap in the engine compartment. 2 seat plus 2 kids in the back, suicide doors, seatbelts exempt (nowhere to mount them) hot air heating. Went well for what it was and the engineering was excellent. They got imported into the UK during the Suez Crisis.
That's cool! Was it able to keep up in regular traffic? I'm unfamiliar wit those types of vehicles. I'm assuming you would need to simply remember to fill up periodically then?
@@yeahprobably Bit slow on motorways, but we had to go a long way to get on one of those. On local journeys it could keep up, and whizz along at 50-60 with our family of 4 plus Corgi and plunder. There was a fuel tap on the fuel tank in the rear engine compartment. Fuel tank was above the engine so fuel feed to the carb was by gravity. Fuel cap was under the boot lid which actually locked. Main fuel supply runs out, the motor starts to miss and lose power, so find somewhere to pull over (!) jump out and switch over. You've now got another small amount in the bottom of the tank. The parents were in the habit of always turning the fuel off when parking 'cos leaving it on reserve and thinking it was on 'main' could cause issues. There was a book in the glove box where they kept track of how much fuel was aboard. Biggest problem? Having to make sure the right amount of 2-stroke oil got into the fuel. Many filling stations in the '70s were not self service and the attendant would add the 2 stroke oil from a pump dispenser into the tank and then add the fuel to get 25:1 (I think). If they didn't add enough oil, the engine could seize. It nipped up once on a very rare 'grand day out' to Lyme Regis. If freed up when it cooled down and got us there and back, but Dad was preoccupied all day. New (used, we had a parts car, new parts were unobtanium) pistons, rings and a hone on the bores was a pest. No more trusting filling station attendants, a species which today are practically extinct. I learned to drive in that car. You could do swing changes on the upshifts and needed to double declutch on down changes. I still double declutch. There was a 'sports' version which had a sequential gearchange like on a motorbike. It was great in the snow as it had little narrow turned-in tyres that cut right through to the road and you could feel exactly what it was doing. If you went off, 3 people could lift it back onto the road. Sipped fuel and very cheap to run.
That's fantastic, what a great piece of history I've learned about! Fast and famous machines are interesting in their own right but we love to also learn about "everyday" things from the past that may be overlooked by others more concerned with the biggest and best. I can imagine the frustration with getting the correct fuel mixture each time, as well as soring out replacement parts. Thank you!
We visited the museum a few months ago and we were also amazed at the size and variety of the collection. Just around the corner is another car museum (Autosammlung Steim) housing a lot of cars from the Jungans clockmaking family. There is also the Jungans clock museum on the outskirts of Schramberg which is also worth a visit.
We try to go to a museum at least once a month if not more, I was surprised we hadn't found this one yet. Very worth the visit! We also went to the Autosammlung Steim museum, a video of that one is in the works. Thanks for watching!
10:20 I had no idea what this was for, a competition with two lanes at 90 degree angles... until I realized, that's exactly what it is, it's a mechanical traffic light.... that predated the Green Yellow Red ones we use today. You don't need a yellow because the dial tells you exactly how much time you have left. Then the next slide of modern traffic lights at 10:42 confirmed it. I've seen a lot of these microcars in person, at the Bruce Weiner Microcar Museum (now closed permanently).
The car you said was "wood chip" powered, is actually a "wood gas" powered car. Strange process of burning wood, then powering the engine off of the result from that. Its strange and complicated. But very rare to see an example in a museum. I envy you on that one.
You heat the wood without air ie oxygen. This gives off a gas that will burn. Use in engine with right air mixture compress decent spark it runs. Albeit poss rather low power but if no petrol……
Cool video! The location of the museum seems quite obscure to me... Maybe in a smaller city? Also yes. During the war and even after a lot of cars/trucks were converted to Wood/Coal power.
Clockmaking has a long heritage in Bavaria; toymaking too. The craftsmen would work on them all winter and take them to market in the spring, hence the clock-covered man in the display at 0:47.
not woodchip power but wood gas power the wood doesnt burn completely in the generator and the smoke/gas is pushed intoo the carb of a slightly adapted petrol engine , took some fiddling to get everything right after stoking the fire and waiting for the gas to build up but it ran like a normal petrol car
Yes! I've done some reading and educated myself. It's seriously impressive the way people have invented methods to travel. I would love to see one running someday.
I actually have a JLO engine... in America.. that probably came off a rototiller, and was going to be used as an ultralight aircraft engine, but is too heavy for that purpose.
From what I can (poorly) translate off the sign behind it, it's a display commenting on the increase in traffic accidents due to increase in automobile use in Germany in the post war era.
If I'm right that guy you thought was a clock salesman what actually walk around town what different clocks on him from different time zones so people would know what time it is
Naive, stupid and ignorant comments …
Especially yours. Whats the point of saying that except to make yourself feel better about yourself? What value did you add to the thread?

Interesting thank you.germany has some great museums
They really do, we've had a great time here finding all kinds of museums to check out!
A great tour of a museum I'll probably never get to see. Thanks from Australia
Thanks for watching.
I just handled the estate of my late uncle who was in Germany during and after WWII and played a big part in the Berlin Air Lift. He had the exact same wine bar in his house
Thanks for posting.
Thanks for the tour, very enjoyable and I love those little cars. The one with fins and the sliding top I have never seen before.
Love the Jeep saw would like the opportunity to inspect it deeper,huge fan of older Jeeps & what they were used for, Thank you!
I loved the band saw addition on the back. Would've been great to see it running!
Thank you for sharing that. I have never seen alot of that stuff and probably wont be able to travel to see it first hand. Thanks .
Post war production museum. Lots of old school and cool stuff.
Cool. Thank you
What an amazing place great find
Very interisting this visit. The Zundapp sewing machine is so nice than i could put it in decoration in my home.
I quite liked the look of it. I love early and mid 20th century style.
I only knew them for motorcycles, sewing machines weren't on my radar.

That "70s Clock" looks like the clock in the dash of a car.

First time I believe we've seen one in a museum. I'll have to read about that type of propulsion, very fascinating!
@@yeahprobably Beware, it is a rabbit-hole. But an interesting subject to read about.
You heat the wood without air ie oxygen. This gives off a gas that will burn. Use in engine with right air mixture compress decent spark it runs. Albeit poss rather low power but if no petrol……
Cool video! The location of the museum seems quite obscure to me... Maybe in a smaller city?
Also yes. During the war and even after a lot of cars/trucks were converted to Wood/Coal power.
It's in Schramberg, and we hadn't heard of it either so we were pleasantly surprised when we found it. The wood powered car was cool!
Try the museum in Turkey, cars / boats / submarine!
Clockmaking has a long heritage in Bavaria; toymaking too.
The craftsmen would work on them all winter and take them to market in the spring, hence the clock-covered man in the display at 0:47.
Tick Tock Tick...
10:15 the 54 Porsche is worth more than the whole museum
not woodchip power but wood gas power
the wood doesnt burn completely in the generator and the smoke/gas is pushed intoo the carb of a slightly adapted petrol engine , took some fiddling to get everything right after stoking the fire and waiting for the gas to build up but it ran like a normal petrol car
Yes! I've done some reading and educated myself. It's seriously impressive the way people have invented methods to travel. I would love to see one running someday.
Try visiting the mousetrap and toilet museum, very interesting and fun.
Will look it up. Is it here in Germany?
I actually have a JLO engine... in America.. that probably came off a rototiller, and was going to be used as an ultralight aircraft engine, but is too heavy for that purpose.
You found a junkyard in a building !😂
IEEEEE!!!
What is the story about the crashed car? Why is it significant?
From what I can (poorly) translate off the sign behind it, it's a display commenting on the increase in traffic accidents due to increase in automobile use in Germany in the post war era.
very cool museum - narrators could use some history lessons.
Thanks for watching.
5:32 omw hub engine bike
If I'm right that guy you thought was a clock salesman what actually walk around town what different clocks on him from different time zones so people would know what time it is
If that's correct, that's awesome! I've never heard of that before but it makes sense in a way. Thank you!
You have a remarkable propensity to reiterate the obvious
It is one of my greatest strengths.
Why is this museum somehow creepy? Maybe just the nature of clocks? I can't explain it
The ticking clock at the beginning was certainly creepy, I can imagine with all the lights off it would've been even more so.
We call them DIARAMAS
I had a zundapp like 6:06
Awesome, I love the design.
i hate coo coo clocks 😂
How uninformative.
