Tips from the Community

Andrea und Huskys 🐺
July 11, 2025, Peace Bell on Fichtelberg

The large peace bell on the Fichtelberg had to remain silent for six months in 2024. Stone throwing in May 2022 had so badly damaged the bell that its sound suffered. It was decided to stop ringing it and replace it with a new one. The old bell rang for the last time on Easter Monday 2024. Just in time for the mountain service on German Unity Day on October 3, the new bell was officially rung for the first time in the fall of 2024. The idea of using a peace bell to commemorate the peaceful revolution of 1989 in the GDR and German reunification in 1990 came from watchman Gerd Schlesinger and night watchman Jörg Eller from the Ore Mountains town of Schwarzenberg. The bell was also intended to be heard in neighboring Czechia and thus ring for a united Europe. The cast steel bell, already ninety years old at the time, was rung for the first time in 2010. The new bell was cast in Innsbruck by the Grassmayr company. At 2,700 kilograms, it is about 1,100 kilograms heavier than the old bell.

Watch out for the barrier! Its exterior blends in so well with its surroundings that if you're inattentive for even a moment, it quickly becomes a "flying trap"... 🙄🙈

The dam dams the Schwarzwasser. It was built to supply water to mines and was put into operation in 1959. The Plattner Graben runs to the south.
