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