was offline. the mountain chapel doesn't have a bell, so we're going to make a bill for them today, or witness the birth of a bell word on it. or if i'm nervous, we're always a bit tense. before casting a bell goes on to release your mom. careful preparation is essential because if the casting is faulty, the bell has to be melted down again. in preparation for casting, the bill makers have produced a mold. this involves weeks of work. the mold consists of 3 sections. first, the inner core, which is made of bricks and several layers of loam. the outline of the bell is drawn on a wooden template called a stricken board. successive layers of long are applied with the help of the template until they reach the inner edge of the bell. thus in order here, this is a cross section there can it's made of break and is coded with loan, lima. but the surplus loan is scraped off by this trickle close to the and then the whole thing is dried and the mold is cut out on the next line is what under shop

lawn? on the next lean y'all's causes, then the 2nd part of the mold is constructed. this is called the false bell inscriptions and ornamentation that will decorate the bell are added to its surface . these are made of wax and will melt away later. finally, an outer mantle is applied to the false bell. the 3 parts bell, cor, false bell and cope are each coated with a layer of tallow and a muddled on when the code is finished and has dried. this is lifted often these organ, i'm the so called false phil. it's marginal bill. then we fit the code again and the gap is created, which is later filled with bron in also. the 1st now comes the casting. firmly brick in the earth stands the mould made of clay. that's how the poet free 3 . sheila described the casting process in his song of the bell. the finished bell molds are generally buried in the earth for this procedure. the molten bronze flows through channels from a huge cast iron furnace to the molds. for smaller bells,

like the one being cast for the mountain chapel at whole time, the mold is simply placed in a steel box. the bronze is melted in a crucible, then comes the big moment. a delegation from the church has come here to witness the event. a parishioner says a prayer, a misty go mighty god, siemens, lord of heaven and earth, he guns a ship full for the whole of creation proclaims your praise listing, including with the ringing of bells, zeke that he frizzy good. also. i ask this molten bryce of i direct its flowing of hula it in the walls is a clock out your spirit on all those who hear this bell and open the heart to other people the limits. amen. bring her when we cast bells for a liturgical purpose, bells that invite people to prayer or to worship it seems appropriate to say a prayer i'm laid and we do all we can in terms of craftsmanship, foyer,

debated we had everything humanly and technically possible. honest about we also want god's help is dish and fulton um arbor. we will not earlier on let us cast in god's name and got us numb gisela, the molten bronze flows through the pouring hole into the cavity between the core and the cope. silence is necessary to allow the foundry master to pay full attention to the gurgling of the liquid. the mould must be free of air bubbles. they were. now all that remains is to wait and see. it takes 3 days before the bell has cooled enough to be taken out of the sand. the decisive moment has come. the whole time bell has been separated from its cope and cleaned. that was the cast, successful time for the professional judgment of a camp. and ologist good karma has come to inspect the bell. bell founder thinker strikes it for the 1st time with a heavy clapper. her moon

is delighted. she uses a tuning fork to check the bells harmonics, the various talents produced by the sound bow combined to produce each bell's unique sound. his verdict is positive. i haven't got the my acoustic analysis confirms the impression created by the clapper, because i thought of one the phone bell to, to harmonics. a very nicely structured. oh, it went up from the strike no, to the tears in the quint. simply wonderful. i was not hector, could you, but in the long and we're also happy with this casting minded on. now we just hope that the people of huff heim will be happy when the bell is mounted on their mountain chapel yet where it will hopefully remain for century older on the halton road. not far from the thinker bell foundry is guy finch. dine castle since 2012. it has been home to gluck and felt a museum housing,

oldest extent bells come from china and around 4 and a half to 5000 years old. the bill advanced from asia along the established trade routes. eventually it reached israel via the silk road. does. he wouldn't all mortal to l system to serve judaism, was the 1st religion to adopt the bell officially onto my list of hebrew scriptures record the practice of hanging 12 small bells on the hem of the high priests, rogue. and it lay symbolized the mystical connection between heaven and earth before been dull. it's 12 was a number you couldn't count on the 10 fingers of your hand. sussman finished. i wouldn't say it was a symbol of the incomprehensible does not truest sense of the word because the flicker historical documents reveal that the bell soon became a symbol of mystical truth in christianity as well. the theological understanding of the birth death and resurrection of jesus. itinerant monks from ireland brought this tradition to continental europe,

where church bells became wide spread around the year 600. they were used by monasteries and installed in church towers as close to heaven as possible to clock ahead with my early christian period. the bows out the task of connecting heaven enough to forbidden. so it is cold, but faithful to pray. jones, like a ticket and carries our prayers up to heaven life and also brings an answer from above its pinion by proclaiming the gospel message from on high devoted foot hidden widow put all new vomited for this is how the church bell became christianity's acoustic symbol. a function it fulfills to this day, bells summoned the faithful to prayer and to worship, and they divide the day into periods. they fulfill this important role in monasteries in downtown cologne, a bustling western german city, a community of nuns follow the traditional rule of saint benedict. the sound of the bell establishes the rhythm of their daily life. sr a mano ill, a coil hoss has been the prior arrest in charge of the convent for 12 years. she

explains the place bells have in monastic life. when the actual study miss a life is much more influenced by bells the most people the home. i also have a lot, a surprisingly many as i discovered, which they are all, but i'll show you some of them down. this is our dining room with i, which we call the refectory toys that if we take our meals here and we asian silence like, and i need a men, we sit facing each other as we do in church and kick off to one. 0, and this a bell here too. when he threw it in yet my for, you know, the bell signals the start of meal time in unsung and is the smallest handbell we use as it is forbidden luncheon. that's when the sisters lie, not to say great sybil. o gin vol turn often.

so oh, when we can aid and there's another peculiarity we discovered thus, ya, it's diesel. this is what we call the temp a cod. it refers to the temp a bell twice a week in august, and i don't know what that name means exactly from plant. i assume it comes from the french latan. when time comes, assistance can be summoned individually. each sister has a specific signal that one to 10 than i, than one, pause to, etc. i'd be happy to show you how it works. i'll call sister sada maria lama. yeah . deaths for so it can be heard in every corner of the house of that or from the attic to the seller offices on that. and that's been our system for calling

somebody in this big house before there were any cell phones. the nuns follow the rule of saint benedict, whose motto was aura at labourer pray and work. sister clara arts has been a nun for 25 years. she's been living in cologne since 2017. growing and processing herbs is her passion and her main work for me is to take a me to the rules and benedict. there's a balance between work and prayer is very important. we have on all we need silent or prayer and rest were but we also need human contact. this does that. it will benedict in life means for me. and for us sister clara has been making teas, ointments, and even room spray for about 4 years. now. most of the herbs come from her own monastery garden. her fellow sisters enjoy the benefits of her home remedies, some of which are also sold at the monastery gate. when the bell rings for prayer,

the no, no, she has just 10 minutes to tidy up. and i'm fun hobby's at the beginning, i found it very difficult. what it as i wanted to finish something would or i wanted to continue reading a book away, but now i think says no, it's good dentist. my, you recharge your batteries in prayer is, could be then you can keep going of fights, looking on mum and you get new insides system and isn't he so not so obsess off as was it can be good to focus on of it was focus, he had suicide obviously, but it's also good to let go. so lassen, the bell, is rung again shortly before prayer time. sister raphael is the bell ringer to day . she 1st has an electric bell. then a handbell is wrong in the cloisters. finally the large bell in the church tower rings out the tower bell is still operated by

hand. by pulling on a rope. the nuns follow the bells call several times a day. there's a total of 7 prayer times each day, plus daily mouse. the bell is the nuns, constant companion structuring every day. prayer. the sisters line up in the cloisters, when the prior, his sister, a manuela gifts, the sign, they enter the church together. prayer can then begin the school at sings a gregorian chant. oh, when you leave with as many bills as we do here, it becomes routine after a while. as only when i think about it, do i ask myself what it actually means? no and thicker? solidify i think it has wealth of meaninglessness. first of all,

i think calling is an important aspect of our lives in the us when we talk about a religious calling dog, we believe that god has called us to walk on this path and to live in this way on to him and somehow the ringing of the bell symbolizes this feeling of being cold and of responding that sadly bendy ah, back to frankfort churches. and their bell towers are an integral part of european towns and villages. they characterize the cityscape and their ringing off and drowns out the noise of every day. life, however, in the lutheran church of the 3 kings in frankfort and mine, the bills are currently silent. the church tower and the belfry are undergoing extensive repairs. the specialized knowledge of a campaign ologist is once again required. could cromer comes to the construction site architect and site manager my quinn, lie and bout hold up from the construction company payroll. tell him about the

progress so much today. we'd like to discuss how the work in the belfry should proceed. and so d cloquet front of the colonel, we can ring bell 5 today. he's always bell 4 is also ready order. next we want to lower bell 3 and it's yolk with the pulley block. it's on time and then swap the yard can talk dis, york on totem. and then i think we should take a look at bill 3 i from and helen girl. they take the elevator to the 14th floor, which leads to the belfry. there are a total of 5 bells, the fitters carefully lower bell, number 3, with a pulley block. it's been hanging on a steel yoke which needs to be replaced. the new yoke is made of oak because wooden yolks improve the sound of a bell. in guns and the whole point of this work is to replace the old steel yokes of because they make the sound very hard and you don't want that. the wooden yolks have a softening effect, so they damp in the sound

a bit. i did that will definitely improve the ringing on dirt languages in fostering of them. one of the bells is already mounted on its new wooden yoke. here caught comma has to check whether everything is fitted correctly and above all, whether the bell sounds good. a bell will ring again for the 1st time since the church tower renovation began 2 years ago. oh, it has a very nice sound. now with clapper, and clipper a room that still needs a little time before work properly. yes, the leather is brand new. okay. okay, we can start ringing on that item. well, they are. oh, do clapper still has to settle, innovate, put comma is otherwise satisfied. then there's another important topic on their agenda, could comma and mike when lie discuss how to optimize the volume of the bell sound

louvers are attached to bell tower windows for this purpose. and they guide the sound of the bells out of the belfry when the tower was being repaired, the old louvers proved to be faulty. as a sound louvers at the fair thought, this vague, i mean, in terms of sound technology, the, shall on the sound arrives here in charlie and is directed to a straight downwards by these louvers expedited or that means as directed at the neighboring houses. boards are being attached to the back of the louvers to reduce the pressure of sound. the neighbourhood should be shielded from noise pollution and it will improve the sound when the repairs are done. the bells can again play their role in the tradition of frankfort spells on high church holidays. all the bells are frank for its 10 inner city churches ring one after the other. an attraction that draws large crowds from one to a close is this. can you walk through? it's quite an experience of the church of the 3 kings in particular,

the reason important contribution to my life because it's on the other side of the river on them de la cruz or it's a very important link between the individual churches. it's printed leads, vision. i think the people of frankfort will be really happy when the bells of 3 kings find me ring again in here who tycoon, excursion into with a lot. the sound of the church bell is often lost in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. yet with its call to prayer and reflection, the bell has been connecting heaven and earth for centuries. even millennia. you might say the ringing of bells is an eternal fascination. print of it, i'm firmly convinced the bell has a few. china so couldn't talk. it has a rich heart. i can also inspire the future, could fail me to believe in cotton as it gives us one cause during the day. hark for prayer to our by for work, so for reflection dimension with no, it helps many people to be calm, reflect on the meaning of miss been tito,

but i'm convinced that this meeting with me in with
