In 1954, the city of Aalen erected a bell tower as a memorial on the Schillerhöhe to commemorate the Aalen victims of the two world wars and the expulsion. Emil Leo designed the plans. The bell was donated by Carl Schneider. It is tuned to a low C. The tower is accessible on request. Every evening at 7:45 p.m. (from 2003 onwards also at 6:45 p.m.) the bell of the memorial rings.
