Bells of peace in the Bärenfels spa gardens - carillon with Meissen porcelain bells. Playing times and songs vary depending on the season.

This installation in the Bärenfels spa gardens was erected in 1955 by the local residents in NAW hours (voluntary free labor). The bells are made of Meissen porcelain and were donated to Bärenfels by the manufactory in Meissen in 1947.

In the early years, the clappers of the 25 bells were triggered by compressed air and bellows and from 1971 electromagnetically. The system was controlled by rollers and paper punch strips. An electronic control system was then installed in 1986 due to the wear and tear of this mechanism. It is also currently the only known porcelain carillon at an altitude of 700 m that is in operation all year round.
