Rathaus-Glockenspiel, Mechanical clock in Marienplatz, Munich, Germany
The tower-mounted Glockenspiel contains 43 bells and 32 mechanical figures that perform daily shows on multiple levels of the New Town Hall.
The clockwork was installed in 1908 during the completion of Munich's New Town Hall, representing a remarkable example of early 20th-century engineering.
The upper level of the Glockenspiel displays knights in a tournament celebrating the 1568 marriage of Duke Wilhelm V to Renata of Lorraine.
Performances occur daily at 11:00 and 12:00, with an additional show at 17:00 from March through October, each lasting approximately 15 minutes.
The clock's mechanism concludes each performance with three chirps from a small golden rooster at the highest point of the display.
