Bell offered on the occasion of the Summer Games of the XXV Olympiad held in Barcelona in 1992 by families M. Kretschmer, B. Geelen, H. Perrot, K. H. Pflugfelder, A. Bavhert and the government of the state of Baden-Württemberg. The airline Lufthansa has sponsored transportation.

"The olympic bell is next to Montjuic Olympic Stadium. It was made in bronze for the XXV Olympic Games of 1992. The word "pace" is written in different languages on its edge. The Olympics rings are engraved on both sides as well as some commemorative sentences. The bell rings twice a day, at moon and at 7 o'clock in the afternoon. It was made in Germany and its transfer was sponsored by Lufthansa.
Unfortunatly the Olympic Stadium was covered by scaffolds. One way or another I enjoyed seeing it, in spite of it's smaller than as I imagined it. Its main entrance has two classic sculptures."
