Erdinger bell foundry

The Erdinger bell foundry Bachmair existed from 1850 to 1971, most recently under the name of Karl Czudnochowsky .

Bronze bells from this traditional workshop were known and loved throughout Bavaria for their euphoria. Bells from Erding were even delivered to Switzerland and Spain . After the Second World War, the foundry flourished as almost every church needed new bells. The Munich Frauenkirche also received a post-war bell from Czudnochowsky's hand. The masterpiece of the Erdinger bell foundry is the anniversary bell of the city of Munich from 1958, which hangs in the old Peter and with its strike tone f ^{0 is} the second lowest bell in Bavaria.

After it was closed in 1971, the foundry's activities were largely taken over by the Passau bell foundry Rudolf Perner .

The bell foundry was founded in 1850 by Joseph Bachmair.

Karl Czudnochowsky (born January 23, 1900 in Enkenbach ; † May 19, 1977 in Rottach-Egern ) had learned bell casting from his uncle Heinrich Ulrich (1876–1924) in the bell foundry in Apolda and was then plant manager of the Egger bell foundry in Staad Rorschach (Switzerland) until he took over the bell foundry in Erding in 1936. After the Second World War he met the shortage of bronze by being the only bell caster to make bells from Euphon , a copper - zinc alloy without tin .
