Weilheim an der Teck (G - BW) The bells of St. Peter's Church

In Weilheim unter Teck, the bells d1-e1-g1-a1-h1-d2 [re3 -mi3 -sol3 -la3 -si3 -re4] ring out as the stately peal of St. Peter's Church. It is an extraordinarily colourful ensemble created by five different masters.
➥ The oldest bell in St. Peter's Church [3] dates from the beginning of the 14th century. A master unknown by name created the instrument in an extraordinarily heavy shape. It is still one of the oldest bells in the region and was the largest bell in St Peter's Church for many centuries.
At the beginning of the 17th century, the Stuttgart bell founder Friedrich Kessler created the second historic bell still preserved today [6]. This bell was also cast in a very heavy shape.
After the Second World War, only these two instruments were preserved. In 1950, the Kurtz foundry in Stuttgart was commissioned to replace the war losses. Out of consideration for the other bells, the foundry also produced the new bells [4+5] in the heavy sape.
In 1964 a new large bell was cast. The Rincker foundry in Sinn also cast the bell [2] in a heavy shape.
In 2004, another large bell was added. The Bachert foundry in Karlsruhe made the largest bell [1] of the peal today.
Despite the different periods of origin and bell foundry masters, the ringing of St. Peter's Church appears surprisingly balanced. Due to the heavy bell shapes, the ringing has an astonishing long-distance effect which can also assert itself against the nearby street without any problems.
