Die Pummerin

During my stay in Vienna, Austria this summer, I was fortunate enough to hear the Pummerin bell after St. Stephan's Fronleichnam's Mass. Apparently it's a big deal when they ring this bell

That is so cool.

It rang during the Fronleichnam (Corpus Christi) Mass, which occurs on Thursday following Trinity Sunday (the Sunday after Pentecost).

@Luke7195 Yeah, it was definitely not like the "average" church bell. I'd hate to be in the tower though. I'm pretty sure that's not too fun.

How come it was ringing in summer? When I looked at the table on Wikipedia, there wasn't any ringing between May and October. Was this a irregular ringing? I'm asking because I want to time my trip to Vienna so that I can hear this bell during my stay...

[@Luke7195]

is it loud?
