The somewhat curious saying actually has a historical background: Dornau was once an important meeting point for cattle trading. Traders came from far outside to conclude deals here – so the region's "little wheels" turned in Dornau and the world literally ran like clockwork. Since 2004, the artwork "Dornauer Weltachse" by Sulzbach artist Helena Papantoniou has commemorated this old saying. Besides the amusing story, there is a beautiful view over the Main plain to the Odenwald and, in good weather, even to the Taunus. 🌍⚙️
