Tall, very beautiful and stylish tower with many bells of different sizes. I really like organ music when I haму the opportunity to listen to such a concert, and this tower reminds me very much of this type of musical instrument, which can only be heard much further and has its own style of performance. A small squeeze from Wikipedia: The Carillon in Berlin Tiergarten park is a tall tower next to the House of World Cultures. It is a large, manually played concert instrument. Someone is siting in a cabin in the middle of the bells and plays with his fists and feet on a baton-and-pedal keyboard. The purely mechanical action makes it possible to play all dynamic gradations, from very soft to very loud sounds. It is one of the largest instruments of its kind in Europe and approximately the fourth largest (by number of bells) in the world. Music programs include classical works and...

I was lucky enough to visit the Carillon when the musician was playing on Ascension Day.

For a paltry 8£, you get to climb the tower and be given a history and explanation of the bells, how they are forged and tuned.

Then you ascend a bit more and are shown the keyboard which is very cool and unusual with an explanation of how they work.

Finally we received the pleasure of two songs which was really impressive to see how the bells are played.

If you are around when he is offering tours, this was the best attraction I've been...

Die Glocken vom Tiergarten

Der schlichte, imposante, 42 Meter hohe Turm, überragt nicht nur die Bäume, er übertönt zwei Mal am Tag mit seinen klangvollen Glocken die Stille des Tiergartens. Das Carillon, in unmittelbarer Nähe des Hauses der Kulturen der Welt (der ehemaligen Berliner Kongresshalle im Großen Tiergarten) ist ein von Hand spielbares Glockenspiel.

Das Instrument wurde nach Entwürfen des amerikanischen Musikwissenschaftlers Jeffery A. Bossin geschaffen und enthält 68 Glocken in einem Tonumfang von fünfeinhalb Oktaven, die täglich um 12 und um 18 Uhr für jeweils fünf Minuten in Betrieb gesetzt werden. Zur 750-Jahr-Feier von Berlin stiftete die Daimler-Benz-AG 1987 rund die Hälfte der 5 Millionen, die der vierteilige, mit schwarzem Granit verkleidete Turm gekostet hatte. Mit dem Glockenspiel sollte der historischen Carillons in der Parochialkirche und der Potsdamer Garnisonkirche gedacht werden, die beide im Zweiten Weltkrieg zerstört worden sind.

Carillon ist die französische Bezeichnung für ein „Turmglockenspiel“. Der Name ist von „quatrillionem“ abgeleitet, dem rhythmischen Anschlag von vier Glocken, wie er bereits im 14. Jahrhundert vom Turmwächter angewandt wurde. Seinen Ursprung hat das Carillon in Belgien, den Niederlanden und Nordfrankreich. Das erste gestimmte Carillon wurde 1652 von Pieter und Francois Hemony gegossen und in Zutphen aufgebaut. Von Mai bis Ende Juli finden sonntags um 15 Uhr regelmäßig kostenlose Konzerte mit dem Carilloneur Jeffrey Bossin statt. An die Konzerte schließen sich Führungen durch den Carillonturm an.
