Friedensglocke, Bell monument from repurposed weapons in Dessau-Roßlau, Germany.
The Peace Bell weighs 4.2 tons and stands on blue-painted steel beams opposite the town hall at the entrance of Ratsgasse.
Created from weapons collected during the 1989 peaceful demonstrations in East Germany, the bell was cast in September 2000 at the ASUG foundry.
The bell carries inscriptions promoting peace and freedom, including 'No Violence' and 'I Ring for Peace and Freedom' in German language.
The Peace Bell serves as a gathering point for regular peace prayers and social demonstrations, located near the central area of Dessau-Roßlau.
The metal used to create this bell comes from weapons that were made unusable by being crushed under a PTS-M tracked vehicle in January 1990.
