[GER] Die hier im Glockenturm hängende Glocke wurde 1581 für die Holzkirche in Wulfflatzke, Pommern, gegossen.
Im Rahmen der Materialbeschaffung im 2. Weltkrieg sollte sie eingeschmolzen werden, dies passierte aber nicht mehr.
Nach Kriegsende veschlug es Pastor Lenke aus Wulfflatzke nach Steilshoop. Die Glocke kam auf Umwegen zunächst nach Steilshoop, 1972 wurde sie dann zur Glocke auf dem Friedhof Bramfeld. Sie hängt dort in einem offenen Holzgestell.

[ENG] The bell hanging here in the bell tower was cast in 1581 for the wooden church in Wulfflatzke, Pomerania.
It was to be melted down as part of the material procurement during the 2nd World War, but this did not happen.
After the end of the war Pastor Lenke from Wulfflatzke sent it to Steilshoop. The bell first came to Steilshoop in a roundabout way, then in 1972 it became the bell at the Bramfeld cemetery. It hangs there in an open wooden frame.
