Pummerin, Bell at St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna, Austria.
The Pummerin bell measures 314 centimeters in diameter and reaches a height of 294 centimeters, making it the largest bell in Austria.
The current Pummerin replaced the original bell from 1711, which was crafted from Turkish cannons and destroyed during a fire in 1945.
The bell features three reliefs depicting the Virgin Mary, the Turkish siege of 1683, and the cathedral fire of 1945.
The Pummerin rings ten times per year, including New Year's Eve, Easter Sunday, Pentecost Sunday, Corpus Christi, and Christmas Eve.
Six Turkish heads decorate the crown arms of the bell, connecting its design to the historical context of the Ottoman conflicts.
