Böttcherstraße Glockenspiel

The Böttcherstraße Glockenspiel with its thirty bells made of Meißen porcelain. This is actually the third set of bells. The original set was damaged in WWII, the second set was installed in 1954, the third in 1999. The 1999 refurbishment was financed by the bank “Sparkasse”, so the Glockenspiel now plays the Sparkasse jingle before starting up in earnest to much amusement from the watching tourists.
