The German Wikipedia article about the church has a photo of the freestanding bell frame standing beside the massive old tower of the church.  The text mentions
	The four-part bronze bell comes from the Junker bell foundry in Brilon and sounds 
	in D′ – F′ – A′ – B′ [des′ – f′ – as′ – b′.].
but not the carillon.  The Wikimedia Commons category for the church has more photos that show the bells.

The Website of the church has contact information, but says nothing about bells.  In 2005, the building became a multi-use facility; church services continue.
