EN: This old bell is on display next to the entrance of the church of Mouth.

It is consecrated to St. Barbara and is dated, but the year is difficult to read: 1774, perhaps 1714. The church dates back to 1721, but the nave was replaced by a new one in the 1960s. I have not found more information.

DE: Diese alte Glocke ist neben dem Eingang der Kirche von Mund ausgestellt.

Sie ist St. Barbara geweiht und trägt eine Jahreszahl, die aber schlecht lesbar ist: 1774, vielleicht auch 1714. Die Kirche stammt aus dem Jahr 1721, wobei das Kirchenschiff in den 1960er Jahren durch ein neues ersetzt wurde. Mehr Informationen habe ich leider nicht gefunden.
