      The bell in front of Bochum's town hall symbolizes a milestone in the steel industry: the invention of cast steel around 1850. This technology made it possible to create complex shapes and structures from steel - e.g. bells - which was impossible with previous methods such as forging, turning or milling .

      The Bochum Association, which merged with Krupp from 1965, produced around 38,000 cast steel bells by 1970. The bell on the town hall was shown at the Paris World's Fair in 1867. It is one of the oldest and largest surviving steel bells.

      The bell is part of the industrial heritage route.

        It is impressive. The huge cast steel bell in front of the Bochum town hall. Once cast for the World Exhibition in Paris in 1855.
