Marienplatz & Neues Rathaus (Glockenspiel)

概要

クイックファクト: Crowds cluster beneath the ornate clock to watch mechanical knights and dancers whirl through a lively joust and a cooper's dance, all timed to a cascade of cheerful chimes. A gleaming rooster crows at the finale while the tower's facade catches warm light, making the brief spectacle a favorite for photographers and locals alike.

見どころ: At 11:00 and 12:00 every day, and at 17:00 in summer, a 43-bell clockwork springs to life as 32 carved life-size figures click and clatter while a miniature joust reenacts the 1568 marriage of Duke Wilhelm V and Renata of Lorraine, the clang of armor slicing through the chatter and the warm scent of pretzel ovens in the square. Below the tournament the Schäfflertanz, a coopers' dance first performed after the 1517 plague, still gets locals talking; the tradition runs on a seven-year rotation and people will proudly tell you whether it's currently 'coopers' year'.

インサイダーヒント

• Get in place 10–15 minutes before showtime and stand near the Marian column for the clearest view of the Glockenspiel.
• For skyline photos without the crowd, climb St. Peter's church tower or buy a ticket for the Neues Rathaus tower elevator for a higher vantage point.
• Wear comfortable shoes and a warm layer in winter, the open square can be windy and chilly.
• Skip the busiest souvenir stalls on the square and walk one block to Viktualienmarkt for fresher food and better prices.
