Something is in Motion

From a Shoe Factory to a Factory of Knowledge: The Main Theme for the Science Center in Pirmasens is “motion”. The reason for this is partially found in the history as the german Shoe city.
Movement is in many aspects closely linked to the roots of the city of Pirmasens, after all, shoes are not just stored in a closet, but are in motion and move us. Furthermore local companies fill many branches of trade influenced by the subject motion. For example in logistics or in the manufacture of Fitness Equipment. Always in motion are also the numerable hikers, bicyclists and climbers in the Pirmasens area in midst of the Pfälzerwald.

Something for Everyone

Whether in the Theme Park “moving something”, located in the ground floor, or up one level where the subject is  “moving yourself”: What distinguishes movement is emphasized in eight divisions in which basic phenomena are explained such as friction, impulse, energy and it’s use with motional machines, research of natural motion, aspects of biological mechanics and the power of mind and in dance.
