"Glocken

Im Glockenstuhl des Turmes hängen acht Glocken an Holzjochen im Holzglockenstuhl. Das Geläut wurde drei Jahre nach dem Stadtbrand von 1656 durch den Aachener Glockengießer Franz von Trier und seinen Sohn Jakob gegossen. Die dabei veränderte Disposition des mittelalterlichen Geläutes wurde bis heute beibehalten, obwohl die Marienglocke zweimal erneuert werden musste. Die heutige Marienglocke stammt aus dem Jahr 1958 und wurde durch die Glockengießerei Petit und Gebr. Edelbrock gegossen.
Technische Daten und Inschriften der Glocken

Das Glockenmotiv bildet der lateinische Hymnus Veni creator spiritus, deutsch „Komm, Heilger Geist, der Leben schafft“ oder „Komm, Schöpfer Geist, kehr bei uns ein“ (vgl. Gotteslob Nr. 341, 342 und 351)."

"Bells

In the belfry of the tower eight bells hang from wooden yokes in the wooden belfry. The bells were cast three years after the city fire of 1656 by the Aachen bell founder Franz von Trier and his son Jakob. The changed disposition of the medieval bell ringing has been retained to this day, although the Marienglocke had to be renewed twice. The present bell dates from 1958 and was cast by the bell foundry Petit and Gebr. Edelbrock.
Technical data and inscriptions of the bells

The bell motif is formed by the Latin hymn Veni creator spiritus, German "Komm, Heilger Geist, der Leben schafft" or "Komm, Schöpfer Geist, kekehrt bei uns" (cf. God's Praise nos. 341, 342 and 351)."
