A VERY FAMOUS MECHANICAL CLOCK IN MUNICH'S MARIENPLATZ…read more======================================================
My husband and I were walking around the Marienplatz on Friday, April 17, 2026 just before noon and the plaza started filling up with people waiting to see the life-size figures. The show lasts about fifteen minutes and starts daily at 11:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. from March to October.
The clock has 43 bells and 32 life-size figures and was added during the completion of the Neues Rathaus or New Town Hall in 1908.
We found a good spot to stand and wait on the opposite side of the plaza which was great because we were in the shade.
If you ever visit Munich you definitely have to check this out. There are plenty of places to shop or dine nearby.
