Zwölfuhrluten (Bayerischer Rundfunk)
The twelve-ringing is one of the oldest radio broadcasts of the Bavarian Broadcasting Corporation (BR), in which, while the twelve- ringing of the bells of a chapel or church can be heard, reports from the past and present of this place or church.
history
The broadcast was invented in 1949 by the head of the audio image department, Alois Fink, as the “message from home to everyone”. The first program was broadcast on Whitsunday 1949 with the bell of Sankt Englmar and soon enjoyed great popularity. The length of the contributions was about five minutes, in 1996 it was shortened to just over three minutes. Georg Impler has been the editor-in-chief of the twelve-ring ring since 2005 .

Before the twelve-bell toll was invented, bells rang for the first time on Radio Munich on Christmas Eve 1948 : from Ettal Abbey , St. Peter's Basilica , the Munich Frauenkirche , the Bethlehem Church of the Nativity , the Speyer Cathedral , Zurich and other churches. This event continues to this day with great popularity.
