Bells

In 1892 the renowned Otto bell foundry from Hemelingen / Bremen supplied the newly built Herz-Jesu-Kirche with a three-part bronze bell ringing with a series of strikes: c '- d' - f '. The large c'-bell fell victim to the bell confiscations of the two world wars. The two smaller bells exist today. The triple bell was completed in 1985 with the addition of a new c 'bell by the foundry Petit & Gebr. Edelbrock, dishes.
