The large peace bell on the Fichtelberg had to remain silent for six months in 2024. Stone throwing in May 2022 had so badly damaged the bell that its sound suffered. It was decided to stop ringing it and replace it with a new one. The old bell rang for the last time on Easter Monday 2024. Just in time for the mountain service on German Unity Day on October 3, the new bell was officially rung for the first time in the fall of 2024. The idea of using a peace bell to commemorate the peaceful revolution of 1989 in the GDR and German reunification in 1990 came from watchman Gerd Schlesinger and night watchman Jörg Eller from the Ore Mountains town of Schwarzenberg. The bell was also intended to be heard in neighboring Czechia and thus ring for a united Europe. The cast steel bell, already ninety years old at the time, was rung for the first time in 2010. The new bell was cast in Innsbruck by the Grassmayr company. At 2,700 kilograms, it is about 1,100 kilograms heavier than the old bell.

Former railway tunnel, very wide and somehow great.

☆ The oldest stone observation tower in the Ore Mountains. More information can be found at the tower.

In many cities there are monuments in the shape of a bell that are intended to serve as a memorial for peace. Examples of this are: - the Chorweiler peace bell, - the Peace Bell (Bad Neustadt an der Saale) - the Peace Bell (Dessau) in Dessau-Roßlau - the Peace Bell (Frankfurt (Oder)) m - the peace bell on the Fichtelberg in the Ore Mountains and many more. In 2009, Gerd Schlesinger, tower keeper of the city of Schwarzenberg, suggested setting up a ringable church bell on the Fichtelberg, which would be considered a monument to the unity of Germany. Its bells should be heard as far away as the neighboring Czech Republic and thus also ring for a united Europe. Many private individuals and companies were active in the project or contributed donations.

The tower is a good vantage point but everything is well marketed.

The bell was erected as a memorial on the summit of the Fichtelberg to mark 20 years of German unity. It weighs 1.6 t, is 1.35 m high and has a diameter of almost 1.6 m.

In 2009, Gerd Schlesinger, tower warden of the town of Schwarzenberg, suggested setting up a ringable bell on the Fichtelberg, which should serve as a monument to German unity and could ring for peace, unity, justice and love.
