The German Wikipedia article about the building mentions the chime and has a similar photo; the associated Wikimedia Commons category has more, including an informative sign about these bells (in German and English).

The G-H-H forum Website has a near-vertical view of the bells, but says nothing about them.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of unknown bellfoundries, in this region and in the world.
