Stefan Mittl

Stefan Mittl is a bell specialist from Birmensdorf ZH in Switzerland .

The specialist has been collecting the sounds of church bells with tape since the mid-1980s , including practically all of German-speaking Switzerland, so that the most extensive documentation of bell tones has been created.

In the section Glocken der Heimat within the Saturday magazine Zwischenhalt on the Swiss radio DRS 1, there is always a bell.

The broadcaster has released a selection on four CDs under the title Glocken der Heimat .

The rubric used to run independently on Radio Beromünster and at times on DRS 1 on Saturday morning.

For example, he described the bells of the Guthirt Church in Zurich- Wipkingen and the Maria Frieden Church in Dübendorf as particularly good quality in the canton of Zurich . He counts the bells of the Reformed Church in Illnau in Illnau and the church in Ossingen among the historical finds in Zurich's bell towers .

In 2017 he co-wrote the non-fiction book Glocken für die Ewigkeit ( AT Verlag ) about bell casting in Aarau .

Mittl is also called in as a technical advisor or as a specialist in legal disputes due to the ringing of bells.
