The Website of the church
has a photo of the tower, and the bells are described on the page about "Die Kirche;"
the peal is in the lower stage of the lower belfry, while the chime and the oldest bell
are in the upper stage of the same belfry; the upper belfry, although louvered,
is apparently empty.
The unenclosed keyboard is immediately below the bells.
The German Wikipedia
article about the
building has a photo of its tall tower and a section about its bells,
with details of its 5-bell peal and mention of the separate chime.
The two largest bells of the chime are also used to strike the quarter hours.
The tower of the church can be visited all year round.
