Completed in 1379, the Marienkapelle, original 1852 bells hung high in the bell tower/steeple until the night of March 16, 1944 when the British fire-bombed the city and destroyed much of the old town area. The tower remained sans bells until early May 2013, when six new bells were consecrated to replace the original four bells. This article reports on the late April delivery of bells.
