7:45 pm
600. they were used by monasteries and installed in church towers as close to heaven as possible to clock ahead of my early christian period. the bows out the task of connecting heaven enough to for so it is cold, faithful to proud humans, we could be decayed and carries our prayers up to heaven life. and also brings an answer from above. it says pinging but claiming the gospel message from on high devoted foot hidden for dog couldn't move on me 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. sister, a man will a call house has been the prior arrest in charge of the convent for 12 years. she
7:46 pm

7:47 pm
going vol, turn often. so oh, and then we can eat and there's another peculiarity we discovered thus, ya is to use, this is what we call the temper cod. that's. it refers to the tampa bell, i think in all of us. and i don't know what that name means exactly from plant. i assume it comes from the french latan on time, and the sisters can be summoned individually. if each sister has a specific signal that $1.00 to $10.00 than i than one, pause to etc. i'd be happy to show you how it works. wow, cool sister sada maria. oh my yeah. but it can be heard in every corner of the house or from the attic to the seller has all of that. and that's been our system for cooling somebody in this big house
7:48 pm
before there were any cell phones in the nuns follow the rule of saint benedict, whose motto was aura at la bora, 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. me history to think of me, the role of sin benedict does a balance between where compress it is very important. i have on all we need silences, pray, and rest all were, but we all sin each human contact the stuff that it will benedictine life mains for me in a fuss. sister clara has been making tease ointments and even room spray for about 4 years now. most of the herbs come from her own monastery garden for 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,
7:49 pm
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, quoted 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. then thank you. recharge your batteries in prayer is could be then you can keep going of fights looking among and you get new insides system and isn't so not so obsess off as was it can be good to focus on the side of it was focus, he had suicide offices but it's also good to let go. so lawson, the bell is wrong again, shortly before prayer time. sister, rafael 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
7:50 pm
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 mass. the bell is the nuns, constant companion structuring every day. prayer. the sisters line up in the cloisters, when the prior is sister, a manuela gifts, the sign they enter the church together. prayer can then begin the school at sings a gregorian chant. oh, sister. 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? and thicker? solidify, i think it has wealth of meaninglessness. first of all,
7:51 pm
i think calling is an important aspect of our lives. really of 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 it sadly, bending, 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 a mind, the bills are currently silent. the church tower and the belfry are undergoing extensive repairs. the specialized knowledge of a cabin 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
7:52 pm
progress so much today. we'd like to discuss how the work in the belfry should proceed. as o d cloquet friends to 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 yoke with the pulley block in front and, and then swap the ocean talk dis, york on totem. and then i think we should take a look at bill 3 i from unchallenged 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 denton, 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
7:53 pm
a bit. i did that will definitely improve the ringing on deck 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 cooper, 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. still has to settle, innovate, put comma is otherwise satisfied. then there's another important topic on their agenda, could comma and my quinn lie discuss how to optimize the volume of the bell sound
7:54 pm
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. s a sound livers of the fact, no thought this vague. i mean, in terms of sound technology, the shall on the sound arrives here in charlie and was directed to straight downwards by these louvers expedited 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 of frankfort, 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,
7:55 pm
the reason important contribution to my life because it's on the other side of the river and on july those or it's a very important link between the individual churches. it's printed leads, fishing. i think the people of frankfort will be really happy when the bells of 3 kings find me ring again in here. he tightened excursion into with a load. 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 that 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 all by for work. so for reflection dimension with no, it helps many people to be calm, reflect on the meaning of life,
