Friedensglocke, Bell and architectural heritage monument in Stadtmitte, Frankfurt (Oder), Germany.

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 bears the inscription "Friede und Freundschaft mit allen Völkern" (Peace and Friendship with all Peoples) and is traditionally rung on 1 September, World Peace Day. Permission to ring it on other occasions must be obtained from the Frankfurt (Oder) district branch of the CDU, which donated it in 1952.

The bell now stands at the southern end of the Holzmarkt on the Oder promenade, framed by a polished stainless-steel frame erected in 2011. It is rung traditionally on 1 September, World Peace Day; for ringing on other occasions, permission must be obtained from the Frankfurt (Oder) district group of the CDU.

The bell hangs in a frame of polished stainless steel, erected in 2011 by the architects Gruber + Popp at a cost of around 250,000 euros. Permission to ring it for special occasions must still be obtained from the Frankfurt (Oder) district branch of the CDU, the party that donated it in 1952.
