Bells

In the roof skylights hang two bells . They once formed the framework of a coherent three-part bell, the middle bell of which was sold to the neighboring Mühlendorf after secularization in 1806 . The bell was cast in 1733 by the Bamberg bell founder Johann Ignatius Höhn with an excellent artistic design. The three bells are charged musically and in content with the topos of the Trinity : The bells form a triad . In addition to a dedication of all bells to Our Lady, the other patronages are Trinitarian. This veneration of the Holy Trinity finds its artistic basis in the corresponding design of the church. With the sale of the middle bell, this unit was torn apart.
