Bells stack
Bells stacks are bell towers that are particularly common in Schleswig-Holstein marshland , in the fishing region and in neighboring Denmark as well as in parts of Scandinavia ( Danish Klokkestabel , Swedish Klockstapel ). The often wooden stacks of bells are usually free-standing next to the churches and are not structurally connected to them. Usually they are lower than normal church towers .
Many of the medieval churches in northern Germany and the Scandinavian countries were originally towerless. Often they were subsequently supplemented with a stack of bells or a church tower. Depending on the economic strength of the community, a stack of bells that had already been built could be replaced by a stone church tower. Other reasons for the erection of bells were, for example, a lack of suitable stones in boggy marshland or unsafe building ground that would not have supported a high and heavy stone tower.
The oldest stack of bells in Schleswig-Holstein is in Norderbrarup and was built around 1441. The second oldest belongs to the church in Koldenbüttel and was built around 1461.
