Friedland Bell
The Friedland bell , also known as the homecoming bell , is a chilled cast iron bell that was donated to the Friedland camp in 1949 by displaced persons, refugees and returnees . Its sound, which is supposed to herald the "appeal (...) to the confession of peace and freedom, the call to the right to a homeland and self-determination" and after the Second World War also called for the reunification of Germany and the world, was heard outside the camp via the Broadcasting. In addition, the bell was brought to various rally locations for the meetings of the returnees in Germany to ring in the events.
The camp bell is not in a church tower , but on a framework that has changed several times over the years.
Friedrich Hirsch and Dankmar Venus dedicated a song to the Friedland bell.
