    For 25 years, the Bach bell has adorned the Dreispitz in Windecken. The local history society is holding a ceremony to commemorate the rich history of the foundry, the days of the Bach bell foundry, and Philipp Heinrich Bach.

      Small ensemble consisting of the Bach bell and a mill wheel.
      The Bach bell commemorates the history of the Bach bell foundry in Windecken, which was founded in 1741 by Johann Peter Bach. By 1891, around 400 bells had been cast.
