Built in 1923/24 by the Bremen architects Alfred Runge and Eduard Scotland. This house owes its name to the carillon (glockenspiel) made from Meissen porcelain installed between the gables in 1934. When the 30 bells chime, wood panels carved by Bernhard Hoetger with images of the ocean conquerors are displayed in the tower connecting the building to Roselius House 10.

2. Glockenspiel House (Wikipedia). Excerpt:
The Glockenspiel House (German: Haus des Glockenspiels) is a building in Bremen in the north of Germany. With its 30 bells of Meissen porcelain, the carillon (Glockenspiel) chimes three times a day while wooden panels depicting pioneering seafarers and aviators appear on a rotating mechanism inside the tower.(Submitted on November 16, 2025.)
The building which houses the carillon is located at No. 4 Bφttcherstraίe in Bremen's old town district. In 1922, the two old warehouses which once stood there were converted into a new office building for the Bremen AmericaBank, built by coffee merchant Ludwig Roselius and designed by Bremen architects Eduard Scotland and Alfred Runge. The gabled red-brick facades of No. 4-5 were built in Neo-Renaissance style. Roselius is known today as a successful businessman who invented and was the first to market decaffeinated coffee.Photographed by Andrew Ruppenstein, May 19, 20252.
