The History of Technology at the ZCOM Zuse Computer Museum

Original documents, works of art, and punched-card machines complement this focus. This means the museum looks not only at calculating machines, but also at other types of exhibits related to information technology. Anyone interested in the history of computer technology will find an introduction to the subject through machines, documents, and works of art. Individual displays may be updated.

Cycling and Cultural Topics in the Wider Bautzen District Travel Destination

The cycling routes described in the Bautzen district differ in their route and focus. The Bautzen North Tour is a 43.1-kilometer circular route from Bautzen through Quatitz, Großdubrau, Milkel, Klix, and Malschwitz, returning to Bautzen. It passes through the heath and pond landscape and along the nature trail in Crosta. It therefore offers a clearly specified route with a stated distance and several stops.

The Hills and Valleys Route is a regional circular route through the West Lusatian Hills in the Bautzen district. The Krabat Cycle Route is also a regional circular route, following in the footsteps of Krabat, the hero of Sorbian legend. The two descriptions emphasize different aspects: the Hills and Valleys Route takes its name from the landscape, while the Krabat Cycle Route is named after the legendary figure. This makes it possible to distinguish the tours by theme without conflating their routes.

The Central Germany Route follows a different kind of course: it is a long-distance cycle route from Zittau to Aachen, with a section passing through the Upper Lusatian Mountains in the Bautzen district. The Spree Cycle Route runs from its source in Upper Lusatia to Berlin. In the Bautzen district, the section runs from Taubenheim to Zerre. These details distinguish the two long-distance routes from the regional circular tours and also identify their sections within the district.

Another cultural topic in the wider Bautzen district travel destination is Upper Lusatian Carnival. Its strongholds in the Bautzen district are the towns of Schirgiswalde and Wittichenau.
