Our Munich guide, John Mountain, a British engineer who has lived in Munich ever since he and his young wife came here to work for the 1972 Olympics, took us to Marienplatz for the 17:00 performance of the Glockenspiel. First the royalty on the upper level and the Bavarian jouster knock their rival off his horse. Then the peasants dance on the lower level. Finally, the cock on the top level flaps his wings and crows. It all takes ten minutes, all the while bells are ringing. it's great entertainment!
