The only thing that makes these bells sound better than listening to them in this video is being right there looking up at the enormous size of this cathedral. It’s like looking at the side of a mountain.
Its hard to imagine how it have felt to see this magnificent structure not only be built as you go about your day but as someone seeing and hearing this for the first time when never seeing anything like it before. It must have been life changing
Das "hmmmmmm" geht tatsächlich durch Mark und Bein. Hab es auch schon live erleben können. Welche Geläute wirst du auf deiner Deutschland-Tour noch besuchen?
You lucky so - and - so ! How did you manage to be in the right place at the right time? Surprising some elfansafety do - gooder allowed it, the noise must have been deafening! I've been up Koln tower 2ce, the first when I was 9, I was so scared it would collapse, mother should have told me it was hit by 70 bombs during WW2, I recently checked this story, more like 14 explosive bombs and the rest were those little incendiary thingies. 2/3 of the vault collapsed, we are lucky to still have the cathedral :) Since then, the internet has convinced itself I want to go there and do the walking tour and the river cruise, yes, I have already done it! And I can read a map! Ulm is a really scary ascent, and you can get higher up. Definitely recommended,
@@Petrusglocke I am very much aware, being German myself, but the English translation is Great Peter, as the literal translation (Fat/ Dicke Pitter) doesn’t really work.
Yes, the dedication of the bell is St. Petersglocke. However the locals call it “Dicke Pitter” which literally translated means “Fat/ Big Peter” - therefore Great Peter :)
the three medieval bells are know as the bells of the three kings. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cologne_Cathedral#Bells there so u can know all about the bells.

The sound of cathedral bells is very healing as it resonates throughout the body. Thanks for posting this!
👍👍
When the full peal started, that must have been such an intense atmosphere... Tons upon tons of metal swinging around with a defening hum
It must’ve been loud I’d think, at least over 120 decibels almost enough to cause ear damage!
@@sebastiangrunewald9094 The people visiting the bell tower (South Tower), are given head phones to wear to protect their hearing.
@@sebastiangrunewald9094 beh ma nel 1925 quando suonava con il vecchio sistema con il motore che tirava la corda suonava ancora più forte
What a majestic sound

They are lovely to here. Far better than the clattering of British church bells.
Happy 100th birthday Dicke Pitter
Loving bells for freedom and peace
In Germany we call the Bell the Decke Pitter!

@@kiwibellringer9729 Wait youre also German?
@@Petrusglocke yes
That reverb is nasty. 💜
Thanks
The Big Petersglocke!
The largest bell gives me an insulting vibe
Great Peter is not the name maybe call it Petersglocke instead
I don't think this bell is named great peter I think it's named St Peter's bell which the other name was in York Minster's

The is not a tenor bell, but a BOURDON
That german cathedral has too many swining bells
the three medieval bells are know as the bells of the three kings.
