Ok, so this one’s a classic. 43 bells and 32 life-sized figures recount the famously lavish wedding of Bavarian Duke Wilhelm V in 1568. The party lasted two entire weeks and took place on Marienplatz, above which the clock is mounted – on the city hall’s facade. The action takes place three times daily: 11 am, 12 noon & 05 pm.
