One of the historic locations of the bell foundry in Apolda

The craft of bell casting was carried out in the Thuringian city ​​of Apolda from 1722 to 1988.

Bells from the Apolda production facility hang in numerous sacred buildings on five continents. There are also bells and chimes cast for public buildings. A total of almost 20,000 bells were probably made in Apolda.

The last casting of a bell took place in the 1980s. In Apolda, the GlockenStadtMuseum and the world bells ringing every four years are a reminder of the great tradition of the craft.

History overview of the foundry

The first bell founder, Johann Christoph Rose , was based in Oßmannstedt from 1718 and moved to Apolda in 1722 to cast two bells for a planned church. One of these bells hangs today in the Apolda Luther Church . After his death, his brother Martin Rose (1696–1758) worked as his successor as a bell founder.

After his death in 1759, Johann Georg Ulrich junior, later also Johann Gottlob Ulrich, sons of the Laucha bell founder Johann Georg Ulrich , took over the foundry and continued to run it under the name of Ulrich Brothers . Today you can find the GlockenStadtMuseum in Apolda and the Laucha Bell Museum in Laucha . With a third brother, Johann Christoph Ulrich, who also joined the company, there were finally disputes in which, among other things, Johann Wolfgang Goethe was consulted as a councilor.

Because of the qualitatively superior competition, the Ulrich brothers had to file for bankruptcy in 1902. Heinrich Ulrich rebuilt the company in 1910 under the same name. He succeeded in casting the Petersglocke of Cologne Cathedral ( Pitter ceiling ), the deepest sounding bell in the world that can swing freely on the straight yoke. After his death it was converted into a stock corporation. After that, business went from bad to worse. Finally, the foundry was expropriated and given up by the GDR in 1949 .

A second plant was opened in Kempten at the Ostbahnhof in 1921 . In 1930 the operating company withdrew there and leased the factory to a bell founder from Kempten. The work was used for bell casting until the 1950s. In Bockenem , the Ulrich & Weule company existed temporarily from 1918, a cooperation with the JF Weule foundry . She made chilled iron bells.

Foundry Carl Friedrich Ulrich / Franz Schilling

History overview

1964: One of the six bells for the Nikolaikirche in Leipzig is raised, made by the bell foundry Schilling & Sons from Apolda.

In 1826 Carl Friedrich Ulrich opened a second, competing foundry. It was taken over in 1878 by Franz Schilling, a brother-in-law of Karl Richard Emil Ulrich, who was granted the privilege of being the court bell founder of the Weimar Grand Duke. This bell foundry, from 1911 under the name Franz Schilling Söhne , specialized in chimes .

From 1888 there was a foundry branch in Allenstein in East Prussia.

The cooperation company Schilling & Lattermann in Morgenröthe-Rautenkranz produced steel and chilled iron bells from 1918 until this foundry burned down on November 30, 1968.

During the Nazi era , the foundry workshop produced glockenspiels several times as part of the propaganda of the Third Reich . There was u. a. 1936 a glockenspiel for the NS-Ordensburg Krössinsee , 1937 a glockenspiel for the NSDAP-Ordensburg Sonthofen ., But also in 1939 for the church of Lößnitz in the Erzgebirge, which was decorated with Hitler quotes and other Nazi propaganda slogans. The Nazi leaders of the then district town also had a carillon made for the Wisentahaus in Schleiz - with the appropriate "Führer" quotes.

During the Second World War , activities came to a complete standstill. After that, the business was painstakingly rebuilt. During these years numerous church bells were made again to replace the losses by casting them in war materials. In the GDR era, for example, the Buchenwald bell for the Buchenwald concentration camp memorial was built in 1957 . In 1972 the company was expropriated and transferred to public ownership as VEB Glockengießerei Apolda . Franz-Peter Schilling, the last Apolda bell founder to date, was formally hired as director. He resigned in 1976 because of the absurd operating conditions to continue working as a freelancer. When it was returned to the Schilling couple after German reunification in 1990, the foundry had already fallen into disrepair.

Friedrich Wilhelm Schilling , a grandson of Franz Schilling, was a bell founder in Heidelberg between 1949 and 1971 . After his death, the foundry was continued against his declared wish and finally merged with the Bachert bell foundry in Karlsruhe in 1982 , which has since been called the Karlsruhe Bell and Art Foundry .

Note : The list does not claim to be complete. Above all, the chilled cast iron bells from Schilling & Lattermann and Ulrich & Weule are only marked with a few instruments. - However, the list shows very clearly that hardly any bells were made during the two world wars, as these had to be hung down on state instructions in order to be cast into cannons.

Honor

In Apolda there is Peter-Schilling-Strasse in memory of and as a thank you for the last master bell founder Franz Peter Schilling (1930–2001) - as well as for the many generations of Schilling bell-casting tradition and its services to the city .

Bells and beer from Apolda

For decades, the Apolda brewery has linked two of its types of beer with the image of the town's most famous trademark: The Apoldaer Glocken-Hell and the Apoldaer Glocken-Pils are well known and anchored far beyond the region. Bells can also be found again and again on both historical and current beer labels .

Bells on postage stamps
Bells from Apolda can be seen on postage stamps from all over the world. (see exhibition 2019 in the Yellow Salon of the GlockenStadtMuseum of the city of Apolda)
