Friedensglocke

The Friedensglocke is a bell made from chilled cast iron located in the center of Frankfurt (Oder), created by Schilling & Lattermann. It was crafted with high technical precision and shows the engineering mastery of the post-war period.

The bell was created in 1952 as part of Germany's reconstruction after World War II. It embodied hope for a more peaceful future following a period of great destruction.

The bell carries a name expressing hope for peace and speaks to visitors about its significance for the city. It stands at the heart of Frankfurt and is perceived by people as a symbol embodying unity and renewal.

The location is in the city center and is easy to reach on foot, as it sits along public pathways. Visitors should walk by at different times to fully understand the experience.

The bell was deliberately given a name reflecting the hopes of the post-war generation. Its sound reaches people far from the location and connects the city with neighboring regions.
