Munchen - Glockenspiel
 

This is a close-up of the Glockenspiel. There are 3 tiers to the glock. The top stage has a bride and groom in the middle which represents a famous royal couple whose names I forget. Along with dancing figures around the bride and groom are 2 jousting horses. The horses circle the couple 3 times until the one horse knocks his opponent back on the horse. The 2nd tier is comprised of numerous dancing figures who have red shirts and black pants and signifies their overcoming of the plague. The top of the glock has a little gold bird that flaps its wings and caws at the very end of the chiming which lasts about 10 minutes and occurs 2-3X/day.
