First is the story of the marriage of Duke Wilhelm V to Renata of Lorraine in 1568, followed by the story of the Schäfflerstanz, also known as the coopers’ dance.
The glockenspiel on the Neues Rathaus, New Town Hall in Munich’s Marienplatz.
The characters move and put on a show two or three times a day depending on the time of year.
