In the village of Iggelbach is this historic bell tower of the former bell club 1900- 1935. He served until the construction of the Protestant church as a ringing bells at funerals.

The bell tower was built in 1900. Before that, the bell was rung from the old school building. Later the prot. Church built (1931 - 1933) "and equipped with two bells. That's where the clock and the bell from the belfry were taken.” But all three bells were melted down during World War II.

"The Iggelbach bell tower is a symbol of a far-reaching rift in the village community [between the woodcutters' and bells' association] that went back a hundred years and for overcoming it. In this respect, it is also a reminder for lasting peace among the people in the village."
