Neues Rathaus

  • February 28, 2005
  • Rated 4 of 5 by panda1 from ., California

Neues Rathaus is the New Town Hall, built sometime between 1867 and 1908 with a two-level Glockenspiel with 32 mechanical figures reenacting the 1568 marriage between Duke Wilhelm V and Renata of Lorraine, a knights' tournament, and cooper's famous dance, performed at 11am daily. In the summer it is also at noon and 5pm.

At 9pm, a watchman with horn and lantern, the Angel of Peace signal, is given to Münchner Kindl, the city mascot, who's a monk.

Take the lift to the 4th floor and pay €2 to continue in another lift to the ninth floor for a panoramic view of the city.

Neues Rathaus

Neues Rathaus (New Townhall) is a building that dominates the Marienplatz with its tower, famous for its Glockenspiel - clocks that perform a little show three times a day for the joy of tourist crowds looking at them. It is where the tourist information office is located. It is where tourists get first overwhelmed by the beauty of Munich when they first come up from the subway. It is a "new" Townhall that mystically looks older than an "old" one (I guess that it is really so, and that old townhall was built anew from old plans after WWII). It is where you can climb to the top of the tower to take a bird-eye picture of Munich, and where you can visit an old and expensive restaurant on the ground floor. Or you can also spend many minutes looking at all the sculptures that decorate the Townhall's wall.
