Glockenspiel House, Protected heritage building in Böttcherstraße, Bremen, Germany
The Glockenspiel House features red brick facades and a carillon with thirty Meissen porcelain bells that chime multiple times throughout the day.
Built between 1923 and 1924 by Ludwig Roselius, the structure replaced former warehouses and became an office building for the Bremen America Bank.
Ten rotating wooden panels inside the tower display reliefs of maritime explorers and aviation pioneers, including Christopher Columbus and Charles Lindbergh.
The carillon performs daily at noon, 3 PM, and 6 PM from January to March, while from April to December it chimes every hour between noon and 6 PM.
The original blue and gold porcelain bells were replaced with white ones after World War II damage, yet the wooden panels survived the conflict intact.
