Peal

The bells of the church to Dahlen is one of the few surviving old and in Saxony cast bronze - Church bells ensembles from the period before the First World War. It is a resounding testimony to the 700-year tradition of bell-casting in Saxony. Due to their age and their associated historical value, the bells escaped the state-ordered “ metal donation ” campaigns during the First and Second World Wars .

The ringing consists of the following three bells: The big bell (basic tone es') dates back to 1625 from the Hilliger family of bell foundries , is 142 cm wide and weighs 1,600 kilograms. The middle bell (basic tone g ') comes from the bell foundry company GA Jauck in Leipzig in 1862, is 112 cm wide and weighs 900 kilograms. The small bell (key b ') also comes from Jauck from 1862, is 94 cm wide and weighs 550 kilograms.
