The bells of the Reformed St. Paul's Church in Länggasse in Bern are ringing. 4 bells: B° des' es' ges' Motif: Ideal Quartet/Parsifal Foundry: Bell Foundry H. Rüetschi & Co., Aarau Year of casting: 1904 A chime with an interesting sound characteristic rings out from the towering tower of St. Paul's Church in Bern. The wooden yokes, which were once painted blue, suggest that they were incorporated into the church's overall work of art. This is also indicated by the unusual bell decoration. At the time of the first electrification, the chimes were fitted with clapper catchers, as no ringing machines with a braking function were yet available. However, as this installation did not work very reliably, it was replaced as soon as possible. About the church: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paulusk...) Many thanks go to the friendly sexton, who also enjoyed the chimes in the bell room. The Pauluskirche is located in the Länggasse in the Swiss capital Bern. The Länggasse borders the train station and the old town of Bern to the northwest.
