On its central tower (Rathausturm) is a 43 bell clock (Glockenspiel), which comes to life every day at 11 a.m. (also at noon and 5 p.m., Mar.-Oct.) as life-size figures from Munich's history come dancing out to its four melodies. The Schäfflertanz, a dance which celebrates the end of the plague in 1517, is performed by dancers in the city streets every seven years (next due in 2012).
