Carillon im Olympiapark München

Carillon im Olympiapark München, Carillon in Olympic Park, Munich, Germany

The carillon in Munich's Olympic Park is a bell instrument with 50 bells built by Dutch bell foundry Eijsbouts and mounted on an exposed steel framework. The structure stands within the Olympic Park complex and forms part of its architectural composition.

The carillon was installed in preparation for the 1972 Summer Olympics at Coubertinplatz and was the second instrument of its kind in Bavaria at that time. It represents a key moment when music became part of Munich's international sporting event.

The carillon was the second in Bavaria when installed in 1972; Aschaffenburg's Schloss Johannisburg had the only other one. By 2012 Bavaria had five working carillons, including Munich's Mariahilfkirche (2012), Würzburg's Neubaukirche (2005), St. Martin in Illertissen (2006) and Markt Weilbach (2006).

The carillon is no longer on site: it was dismantled in November 2007 and stored at the Münchner Stadtwerke, and plans to reinstall it had failed by 2020 over noise assessments for the nearby beer garden. At the former Coubertinplatz, renamed Hans-Jochen-Vogel-Platz in 2021, visitors find only the empty spot in the central square of the Olympic Park.

The instrument originally had 49 bells; a 50th, a C-sharp bell, was added in 1991. It was only the second carillon in Bavaria after Aschaffenburg's Schloss Johannisburg, and by 2012 Bavaria had five working carillons.
