The carillon, which is made of Meissen porcelain and can be seen on the facade of the Zwinger courtyard at a height of 8 meters, has been there since 1933. It survived the Second World War unscathed. During the subsequent reconstruction of the pavilion, the carillon was expanded from the original 24 to 40 bells made of Meissen porcelain.

The Glockenspiel Pavilion in the Dresden Zwinger is a Baroque building with a famous porcelain carillon, which has existed since 1933 and can be heard every hour. Originally known as the "City Pavilion," the pavilion was completed in 1728, destroyed in World War II, and rebuilt in 1955 with a system expanded to 40 bells. Today, it rings every quarter of an hour, with longer "bell symphonies" heard at certain times.
