Hi all, The sundial is located in Munich, in the terminal of the underground (U-bahn) at Messestadt-Ost (Trade fair). Not quite in the middle of Munich, though. It is nr. DGC-11098 in the database of the German Chronometrical Society. The time is read where the shadow of the upper edge intersects with the date line. Only three date lines are laid out, and they change shape considerably, the summer solstice line even twisting into a loop. This makes it not easy to get an accurate reading throughout the year. This is an interesting example of a monofilar dial.
