Carillon in Berlin-Tiergarten, Bell tower and carillon in Tiergarten, Germany
The carillon stands within a 138-foot-tall tower in the northeastern section of Tiergarten park, near the House of World Cultures and the Chancellery.
Daimler-Benz AG presented this musical instrument to Berlin in 1987 as part of the celebrations marking the city's 750th anniversary celebrations.
The instrument contains 68 bells connected to a keyboard spanning five and a half chromatic octaves, allowing performers to create music ranging from soft to loud.
Free concerts occur every Sunday at 3:00 p.m. from May through September, with the carillonneur performing from a cabin situated among the bells.
Weighing 106,000 pounds with its largest bell at 17,200 pounds, this carillon ranks as the fourth largest in the world by number of bells.
