The Prague Astronomical Clock is integrated into the south facade of the Old Town Hall at the Old Town Square. It is an astrolabe clock from the early 15th century in southern projection. In addition to the time and the astronomical phenomena displayed by the astrolabe, it uniquely shows Italian or Bohemian hours counted from sunset on a rotating outer ring. Below the astrolabe clock is a calendar dial from the late 15th century. The figurine shows on both sides of the clock were added in the 17th century, while the procession of the 12 Apostles was installed at an unknown later date above the clock behind the two windows. In the final days of World War II, the clock suffered severe damage during a German attack, with the town hall completely burning down. Through extensive restoration work in 1948, the clock's original condition was restored.

Camels (Camelidae) are a family of mammals from the order of even-toed ungulates (Artiodactyla), within which they are the only extant family of the suborder Tylopoda. They can be divided into two groups: the first group consists of Old World camels (Camelus) with the dromedary or one-humped camel and the Bactrian or two-humped camel, also called large camels. The second group includes the New World camels (Lamini) with the genera of llamas (Lama) and vicuñas (Vicugna) – the small, hump-less camels. Camels are animals characterized by a long, thin neck, a small head, and relatively elongated, slender legs. However, there are significant size differences between the New World camels, which weigh between 35 and 150 kilograms, and the Old World camels, which weigh between 300 and 700 kilograms.

Since 1954, the locomotive has been equipped with a new boiler, and from April 16, 1958, to June 26, 1958, it was converted to oil firing at Henschel (Kassel). In early June 1975, the locomotive was retired after a total mileage of 3,931,461 km. The locomotive was placed as a monument in front of Braunschweig Central Station on April 27, 1977. Already in November 1984, maintenance work (cleaning, rust removal, protective and final coating) was carried out on the locomotive for the first time. After an engine damage to 01 1100, in spring 1988 the right steam piston of 01 1063 was removed as a spare part and installed in locomotive 01 1100. During the summer of 1993, the locomotive was refurbished externally again, especially the tender received a new paint job. In March 2012, the boiler cladding at the base of the long boiler was extensively rusted through and partly missing. The same applied to the sheet metal cladding in the lower area of the firebox.
