A device for turning an object about an axis which is stationary related to the device, the device including two manipulator modules, each provided with a base part, to which, rotatable on a base axis, an upper arm is linked, to which, rotatable on an arm axis, a lower arm is linked, which features an end axis. The base axis, the arm axis and the end axis of each manipulator module intersect with each other respectively in one intersection point, with their connecting line defining the swivel axis. A connecting piece is mounted between the two lower arms so that it is rotatable on the two end axes and forms and/or provides an object holder for the object to be turned/swiveled.
