Click on any underlined state name above to go directly to that section of this index.  Within a state, sites are listed alphabetically by city and site-name.

If you are looking for a specific site by its institutional name (e.g., a church or school) or by the instrument's proper name, then use the "find in page" feature of your Web browser to locate a distinctive word (or partial word) in that name.

NOTES:

1. This index not only is geographic but also includes information from the mechanism-specific indexes for this region.  Sites are tagged as follows:

   trad

   traditional carillon

   non-trad

   non-traditional carillon (all mechanisms)

   chime

   chime (all mechanisms)

2. If you do not find here a city (or instrument) which you think should be listed, then check the page of sites that are no more for Europe.  If it's not there, then please send a message to csz_stl@swbell.net telling everything you know about it.

3. Many known carillons and chimes remain to be added here.

4. Both the state list above and the section headings below show a common English equivalent of the German name of the state when one exists.

5. For an explanation of our use of the tags BRD and DDR, see the long Note in the regional index overview page for this country.
