Von den vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg vorhandenen vier Glocken mussten 1942 drei für Kriegszwecke abgegeben werden. 1950 wurden in der Glockengießerei Mabilon in Saarburg vier neue Glocken gegossen, wobei die verbliebene Glocke von 1651 aus dem alten Geläut passend zu den anderen Glocken umgegossen wurde. Glocke vier ist die Angelusglocke.

[EN] "In the tower of the double church, which belongs to the old church, there is a four-part bell. Of the four bells that existed before the Second World War, three of them had to be delivered in 1942 for war purposes. In 1950, four new bells were cast at the bell foundry Mabilon in Saarburg, whereby the remaining bell of 1651 was poured from the old bell ringing to match the other bells. Bell four is the fishing bell.
