Bells

After the old chime was destroyed in the First World War , a chime made of chilled iron bells was purchased in 1917. In 2010 the bells had to be completely stopped because the bells and the bell cage showed considerable corrosion damage. A permanent solution could only bring a new bell. The congregation was able to use the four small bells of the evangelical Church of the Resurrection in Gelsenkirchen, which was profaned in 2011, and even got them as a gift. The bells in Gevelsberg received a new wooden bell chair and were rung for the first time on December 8, 2012. The bells are dedicated to the evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and ring in c ', g', b 'and c ".
