Olympic Bell, Monumental bell in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, Germany

The Olympic Bell, designed by Walter Lemcke, measures 2.8 meters in diameter and 2.6 meters in height, constructed entirely from steel.

During World War II in 1947, the original Olympic Bell fell from its 77-meter tower when British engineers demolished the structure, causing irreparable damage.

The bell features engravings of the German Federal Eagle and Brandenburg Gate, with inscriptions that translate to 'I call the youth of the world'.

Visitors can access the bell tower through a glass elevator that displays historical scenes during the ascent to the observation platform.

The bell produces an F sharp note when rung and weighs 4.5 tons, replacing the original 9.6-ton bell that was damaged in the war.
