A
Peace Bell
In a city so devastated by war, it's not surprising to find a Peace Bell. Donated by sister city Hiroshima, it lies inside a steel-cross Memorial to Our Dead on Breite Strasse near the corner of Osterstrasse. Every 6 August at 08:15, the date and time of the atomic detonation at Hiroshima, a delegation from both cities meets here to ring the bell. The neighbouring Aegidienkirche Memorial (1350) was bashed by artillery in 1943.
