"Das Geläut besteht aus neun Glocken, wovon die kleinste Glocke im Dachreiter über der Vierung und die übrigen im Hauptturm hängen. Als beim Brand 1689 das ursprüngliche Geläut schmolz, goss 1694 Johannes Bourlet aus Jülich vier Glocken. In der Barockzeit kamen zwei kleinere Glocken hinzu. Um den originalen Bestand wiederherzustellen, goss im Jahr 2000 die Eifeler Glockengießerei Mark aus Brockscheid drei Glocken, die von der St.-Sebastianus-Schützengesellschaft (Sebastianusglocke), dem Kirchenchor (Cäcilienglocke) und einer Ahrweiler Familie (Seligenglocke) gespendet wurden. Die Läuteordnung gibt das Dingeln vor. Es entspricht dem im Rheinland einst weit verbreiteten Beiern. Zu besonderen Anlässen, wie beispielsweise zur Christmette, an Fronleichnam und in der Osterzeit "

EN:
The peal consists of nine bells, of which the smallest bell in the roof turret above the crossing and the other hanging in the main tower. When the fire of 1689 melted the original bells, poured in 1694 John Bourlet from Jülich four bells. In the Baroque period two smaller bells were added. To restore the original stock, poured in 2000 the Eifel bell foundry Mark from Brockscheid three bells of the St. Sebastianus Shooting Society (Sebastianus bell), the church choir (Cecilia Bell) and Ahrweiler family (Blessed bell) were donated. The Läuteordnung pretends the Dingeln. It corresponds to the Rhineland once widespread Beiern. On special occasions, such as the Christmas Mass at Corpus Christi and Easter time
