Olympic Bell

The Olympic Bell is a steel monument in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf with a diameter of 2.8 meters and a height of 2.6 meters. It hangs in a glass elevator shaft that displays historical scenes to visitors as they travel up to the observation platform.

The original bell was created for Berlin's Olympic Games and was later installed in a tower, but fell after World War II. This replacement bell marks the city's recovery period and commemorates that historic moment.

The bell carries an inscription calling to the youth of the world, while engravings display the German Federal Eagle and Brandenburg Gate. These symbols link the Olympic legacy directly to German landmarks in a way visitors immediately recognize.

To experience the bell and the view, use the glass-enclosed elevator that offers insights into Berlin's history. The location is easily accessible in the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district and works best on a clear day.

The bell produces an F sharp note, which makes its sound distinctly recognizable compared to other bells in Berlin. This musical quality became a distinctive mark during the Olympic Games.
