The Carillon Tower ☆ „Thanks for the Flickr explore"

            ENG: The Carillon in Berlin is a hand played carillon in the district of Tiergarten. It is located in the immediate vicinity of the House of World Cultures - the former Congress Hall - in the Großer Tiergarten, approximately on the same site where the Kroll Opera was located until 1951.

The tower of the Carillon consists of four individual towers grouped into a square, each 42 metres high and clad in black granite. With 68 church bells, it is the fourth largest carillon in the world and has a range of five and a half octaves. The largest bell weighs 7.8 tons.

The carillon was donated in 1987 for the 750th birthday of the city of Berlin by Daimler-Benz AG under Edzard Reuter with 2.8 million marks, 2.2 million marks were added by the state of Berlin. The tower carillon was intended to commemorate the historic carillons in the Parochialkirche and the Potsdam Garrison Church, both of which were destroyed in the Second World War.

GER: Das Carillon in Berlin ist ein von Hand spielbares Glockenspiel im Ortsteil Tiergarten. Es steht in unmittelbarer Nähe des Hauses der Kulturen der Welt – der ehemaligen Kongresshalle – im Großen Tiergarten, ungefähr an der Stelle, an der sich bis 1951 die Krolloper befand.

Der Turm des Carillons besteht aus vier zum Karree gruppierten Einzeltürmen, die jeweils 42 Meter hoch und mit schwarzem Granit verkleidet sind. Mit 68 Kirchenglocken ist es das viertgrößte Carillon der Welt und verfügt über einen Tonumfang von fünfeinhalb Oktaven. Die größte Glocke wiegt 7,8 Tonnen.

Das Carillon wurde 1987 zum 750. Geburtstag der Stadt Berlin von der Daimler-Benz AG unter Edzard Reuter mit 2,8 Millionen Mark gestiftet, 2,2 Millionen Mark kamen vom Land Berlin hinzu. Mit dem Turmglockenspiel sollte der historischen Carillons in der Parochialkirche und der Potsdamer Garnisonkirche gedacht werden, die beide im Zweiten Weltkrieg zerstört worden sind.
