Munich's Marienplatz is one of the city's central squares; the Marienplatz is named for the Mariensaule, a column crowned with a statue of the Virgin Mary. When visiting Munich, cruise through the Marienplatz at 11:00, 12:00 and 5:00 to witness the famous Glockenspiel on the front of the Rathaus. The Glockenspiel celebrates two separate events from Munich's past with two levels of mundane clockwork action. The dancers are coopers (barrelmakers) and are depicted doing the Schafflertanz, or "Dance of the Coopers". This is done in memory of the end of the Black Death plague in 1517 and every seven years some locals dress up much like Morris Dancers without the bells and perform the dance live. The other part is jousting knights. These re-enact a famous tournament that was held for the royal wedding of Duke Wilhelm V which took place on Marienplatz in 1568.
