A large stone circle was built on the historic castle square, the origin of the city, on a peninsula in Lake Crivitzer.
The bell pavilion, a stage and a campfire site are located in this rondel.
The bell in the pavilion was cast in a
steel-zinc alloy in the Eifel in 1943, in the middle of the Second World War. We were able to buy this bell in 2018.
The bell is struck from the outside, based on an Asian model.
The bell clappers were given by the Evangelical Lutheran church community from their church bells that were melted down for war material in 1942.
A white dove of peace is paved with white marble stones under the bell. The bell and dove are framed by a Corten steel canopy in which the word peace is burned in twelve languages of the world. When the weather is nice, rays of sunshine shine through. It is as if heaven is writing the word “peace” for all people on our peace bell.
The rondel also contains a stele with a cast plate attached to it.
It commemorates the events during the Peaceful Revolution in Crivitz.
Prayers for peace, round tables and vigils at the Stasi bunker complex on Waldschlößchenweg have a place of remembrance.
We are grateful that we were able to complete the Crivitz Peace Bell on the 75th anniversary of the atomic bombings on August 8, 2020, and have it consecrated by Bishop Tilman Jeremias.

The Peace Bell on Burgplatz in the small town of Crivitz in northern Germany commemorates the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It is part of the worldwide program "Mayors for peace" and stands in the tradition of the world peace bells. The Crivitzer bell was inaugurated on August 8, 2020 after much planning and is now struck annually on August 6, the anniversary of the atomic bombing, as well as on New Year's Day and on special occasions.

"Why? In memory of the devastating effects of the breath bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and to support the fight to abolish nuclear weapons [...] Nuclear missiles were also stationed in the Crivitz region until 1989. [...] We will not banish the danger of war with a bell, but the more people clearly support disarmament, the abolition of nuclear weapons and say it out loud, the bigger the choir will be. [...]"
