The Rincker family has been dedicated to bell casting since 1590. The bell and art foundry is one of the oldest family-run businesses in Germany. It all began with master craftsman Hans Rincker, who cast bells and cannons in Aßlar and the surrounding area. In the mid-18th century, the brothers Heinrich and Philipp Rincker founded a foundry in Leun, which was relocated to Sinn in 1817, where it remains to this day. At the beginning of the 20th century, the company expanded to include an iron foundry and an agricultural machinery factory. Rincker achieved worldwide fame through the production of adjustable tuning forks for the partial tone analysis of bells. The crises of the interwar period also affected the Rincker foundry. After the Second World War, the company became one of the leading bell foundries in Europe, having cast over 20,000 bells to date. The company's branches expanded with art casting and the acquisition of a traditional Hamburg tower clock company. Bells made of Sinn can be found in the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church in Berlin, in the main church of St. Michel in Hamburg (Hamburger Michel) and in the Paulskirche in Frankfurt.
