Not everyone knows or sees it, but there is still a bell behind the monument from 1995. As the bell is a later addition, the artist Dankowa did not want the bell to be placed next to the memorial because then it would appear as if the clock were part of her memorial. Then he was placed behind it.

The bell gave the monument a sound, a voice. A voice that not only remembers the victims of the war, but that also calls on and encourages everyone to commit themselves to maintaining peace. The clock
