A large festival program will fill the city center with several stages, stalls and a colorful mix of culinary delights, art, culture and exhibitions. We at Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences will be there and invite you to join us in celebrating rural areas. A warm welcome!

Experimental demonstration of high-voltage technology

Marvel with almost all your senses at the impressive experiments in the high-voltage hall!

We associate high-voltage technology with large installations, overhead lines and power plants - however, the research work and knowledge of behavior are necessary to obtain functioning devices in households and industry far away from large overhead lines and high voltages. We would like to give you an insight into this.

Times:

Saturday: 10 a.m., 12 p.m., 2 p.m. and 4 p.m.
Sunday: 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Location: High-voltage hall, Hochwaldstraße 2, 02763 Zittau
