Das Glockenspiel is first of all an instrument, very similar to a xylophone, but instead of wooden bars, it uses either metal bars or metal tubes. It is somewhat smaller though and also possesses a higher pitch. The sound is very close to that of real bells.
"Glocken" means bells and "zu spielen" means to play.
The Glockenspiel (a carillon) in Munich,Germany is also a famous tourist and local attraction in the Marienplatz built back in 1908, where everyday at 11am more than 40 bells are rung and over 30 man size figures come to life, telling two stories dating back to the 16th century. Apparently this event also happens at 12pm and 5pm throughout the summer months.
And thirdly there is the popular Glockenspiel Restaurant in St Paul,MN, which serves authentic German cuisine and specialises in pork dishes.
