Glockenspiel, Munich, Germany
Munich's Glockenspiel only marks the time twice at 11 a.m. and noon every day,
however, it also chimes at 5 p.m. between March and October. The chiming clock
has 43 bells and is situated in Marienplatz square in the tower of the Neues
Rathaus. When it rings, 32 life-sized figurines act out various events from
Munich's history, including the wedding of Duke Wilhelm V to Renata of
Lorraine. Each show runs for about 15 minutes and finishes with a golden
bird emerging at the top and chirping three times.
