The Website of the city parish has contact information.

The German Wikipedia article about the city mentions these bells and lists their notes.

The German Wikipedia article about the building has a section with details of the four bells in the tower, but does not mention these carillon bells on display.

Wikimedia Commons has a photo of four of the carillon bells (F,F#,G,A)

A tourism page (in German) recounts the history of bellfounding in Apolda, and gives information about four sets of bells in the city.
Alternatively, a Two-page flyer (PDF) from the Apolda tourist office about glockenspiels in the city has photos of all four.

Where the original destination of this work lies in the sequence of output of the Schilling bellfoundry, in this region and in the world.
