History edit

The first Catholic cathedral of Our Lady and Sts. Willibald and Salvator in Eichstätt was built in the 8th century. The current building is 98 metres (322 feet) long. Together with the cloister and the mortuary, the two-aisled cathedral is regarded as one of the most important medieval monuments in Bavaria.

Bells edit

 
Eichstätt Cathedral

The cathedral has a collection of 18 bells, making it one of the churches with the most bells in Germany. The bells are distributed between the north and south tower and are not rung together, but in four separate groups.

Main Peal edit

The oldest bell in the peal is dedicated to Mary, mother of Jesus, (German: Frauenglocke) and dates from the beginning of the 14th century. The bell named Hallerin was cast by Nuremberg master Hans Glockengießer in 1540.[2] The Magnificat bell of 1975 is also known as the Bishop's Bell (German: Bistumsglocke). The Benedict Bell was donated by church musician Wolfram Menschick.

South Tower edit

The two bells of 1256 have a very characteristic sound, resulting from their special rib bell shape (German: Rippe). Two bells are rung for weekday vespers, one bell each for rosary devotions, and every Friday at 11 o'clock for the Passion of Christ.

Death Bell edit

In the North Tower is the Death Bell (German: Sterbeglocke), known as Klag, which is only rung to commemorate the death of a member of the cathedral community. It was probably cast by Hermann Kessler at the beginning of the 14th century and has a strike tone of a″ +1/16. It weighs about 120 kilograms (260 lb) and has a diameter of 56 centimetres (22 in).

Museum edit

Attached to the cathedral is a museum named Cathedral Treasury and Diocesan Museum.
