Bell and art foundry Rincker

The Rincker bell and art foundry in the Hessian sense is one of the oldest existing bell foundries in Germany. It has been family-owned since the 17th century and is one of the most important bell foundries in Europe.

history

Rincker bell from 1971 with foundry mark on the Wolm

The beginnings of the foundry are difficult to make out. The company's history, commissioned by the company itself in 1960, does not come to a clear conclusion either, as this fails due to the lack of any documents .

At the end of the 16th century, the job title of the gunsmith, called rings , was created, from which the name Rincker is derived. A tax payment for a Hans Rincker is attested for 1596, but not an activity as a bell founder or a bell. The only bell in Netphen , presumed to be in 1590, clearly belongs to the work of the Frankfurt master Laux Rucker , for whom more than 10 bells can be proven. The names of the four sons of Hans Rincker also do not match those of the later foundrymen. Thus, a bell made for Ober-Hörgern by Johann Jakob Rincker in Asslar in 1683 was the first to be listed with this family name. He cast this together with Antonius Fei , who also worked with the foundry maker Dilman Schmid , who was also based in Asslar . Johann Jakob Rincker cast numerous bells until his death in 1744. His son Wilhelm Anton Rincker was born in Aßlar in 1692 and was considered an important master of the family, as he worked early as a traveling caster and had a wide range of activities. His son Friedrich Moritz settled in Osnabrück in 1755 ; However, this work only existed until around 1800, as there were no successors. The foundry in Asslar was retained. From there, Heinrich and his brother Philipp founded a foundry in Leun . Justus and Jacob continued the Osnabrück business. Two of the three bells, cast in 1799, ring in the Evangelical Church in Welver - Borgeln .

Gottfried Rincker founded another workshop in Leun in the Rhineland. At that time there were no permanent foundries, only collective casting facilities, which included those in Affeln and Westhofen . The latter was of greater importance later when Gottfried and his son Wilhelm received orders for Soest , Hagen (Westphalia) , Volmarstein , Attendorn , Castrop , Iserlohn and Dortmund . The foundry had to be closed due to a lack of professional heirs. In 1817 the foundry workshop in Leun moved to Sinn; there erected Philipp Rincker the currently existing foundry. His eldest son, Heinrich Wilhelm Rincker, founded a foundry in Chicago .

Heinrich's sixth son Friedrich Wilhelm and his son August Rincker were responsible for the technical and craftsmanship of the foundry around 1900. Thanks to his friendship with Georg Appun, who at the time invented adjustable tuning forks for the partial analysis of bells, the Rincker foundry achieved world fame. Success was only granted to them briefly; the First World War and rising inflation brought the work to a halt. August's eldest son Fritz Rincker moved to Hungary during this time , where he cast around 2,200 bells. Together with his brother Curt, he continued the work under the name of the Rincker brothers in Sinn. After the Second World War , they were able to rebuild the foundry under the toughest conditions and expand its importance in a previously unattained dimension (in 1958 there were around 10,000 bells); the six-part bell from 1960 for the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church in Berlin was the highlight of the Rincker foundry. Fritz 'son Hans-Gerd took over the bell foundry and added an art foundry to it. His sons Hanns Martin and Fritz Georg are now the 13th generation to run the company.

Bells and chimes

From the beginning of the record in the 19th century, the foundry has cast over 20,000 bells by early 2014. All bells and chimes with their lowest pitch in the lower octave (h ⁰ and lower), chimes with a particularly large range and bells of monumental value (all bells cast before the First World War ) are listed here.
