This video presents the bells c#1 -e1 -f#1 -a1 [do#3 -mi3 -fa#3 -la3] of St. St Mark's Church in Stuttgart city. All bells were made by bell foundry Kurtz.
➥ As early as 1950, a new peal of bells could be heard from St Mark's Church. The Kurtz bell foundry cast one of the first larger bells. This was possible because St Mark's Church and the surrounding districts were not as badly damaged as the city centre districts.
The new bells [1+2+3] replaced those that had been conscripted due to the war.
In 1959, the last place in the belfry was finally filled again with a new, small bell [4]. It is no longer clear whether a pre-war bell was still hanging here, which no longer quite matched the new sound and was therefore given away.
In front of the church, the ringing sounds very direct due to the open belfry. This only slightly detracts from the excellent sound impression of the ensemble. Due to the relatively early casting year for the city of Stuttgart, the bells from the foundry sound noticeably different here in St. Mark's Church than they usually do in the city centre.
