Bells

In the year of the consecration in 1892, the renowned Otto bell foundry from Hemelingen / Bremen supplied three bronze bells for the newly built St. Rochus Church. The bells had been ordered by Pastor A. Krah. The bells with the chimes a - h - cis were confiscated and melted down during the First World War. After the war in 1925, Otto cast three new bells. The two large bells were destroyed in World War II. Only the smallest bell, the Joseph Bell, was preserved. It bears an inscription, the year 1925 and the old foundry mark of the Otto company. After the Second World War, Otto delivered two new bells in 1950. The new casts bear the Otto's new foundry mark. They are consecrated to Maria and St. Rochus. Today there is a triple chime of OTTO bells in the bell tower with the chimes b, c sharp and dis.
