Who was responsible for changing the clock in Wiesbaden?

Why's that clock tower of the Market Church stuck at ten to two? Folks in Wiesbaden have been puzzled. Now, the church community claims: Lightning could be the culprit—and fixin' it'll take some time.

Be it a lightning strike or a mighty power surge brought on by the storm, the church's central electronic system's taken a hit. Since then, the clock tower's remained as still as a statue, acting as a mute spectator to nature's raw power.

But the building's interior lights only flicker now, and the bells, carillon, bell system, and organ are all out of commission. It'll likely take weeks, if not months, to get everything hummin' again, according to the church community's estimation.

There's a silver lining, though. The small choir organ's still operational. Now, it'll take center stage for services and concerts. That means the "Organ Music at Market Time" every Saturday can carry on, the community announced.

Though data on the particular Market Church's clock tower is scarce, the St Dionysius Church clock tower in Market Harborough stopped chime every hour due to mechanical issues. No specific cause or repair time was mentioned. Clock tower repairs can vary greatly in duration and cost, depending on the issues at hand[1]. If you're talkin' about a different Market Church, more details would be helpful to provide a precise answer.

Despite the clock tower's unfortunate halt, the weather, whether it's a lightning strike or a storm surge, seems to have played a role in the current situation. The interior lights and various musical instruments remain affected, requiring weeks, if not months, for the church to regain its functionality.
