    In this paper we present a formula for the values at positive even integers of the class zeta functions of totally real cubic fields (Satz 28) which is the exact analogue of the Barner-Siegel formula in the real quadratic case. It continues the work started in part I of this paper [J. Reine Angew. Math. 361, 95-117 (1985; Zbl 0561.12003)]. In this part II the main tools are a new type of Dedekind sums and their series representation. The series in question are not absolutely convergent in general so that rather complicated series transformations are needed to get the desired result. The conditions imposed on the set of independent units in Satz 28 are troublesome for actual computation; these conditions are removed in a forthcoming paper by the author and \textit{M. Pohst} so that a simple algorithm emerges for the calculation of the aforementioned values using only a system of independent units and an integral basis of the field as input.
