For 25 years, the Bach bell has adorned the Dreispitz in Windecken. The local history society is holding a ceremony to commemorate the rich history of the foundry, the days of the Bach bell foundry, and Philipp Heinrich Bach.

The bell is reminiscent of the bell foundry in Windecken. For 143 years, the Bach family supplied the churches in the area with bells.
