German Church Bells Allowed To Return Home
The British Military Government has released the German churchbells, which were stored in Hamburg and Lunen, so that they can be sent back to their own churches. The bells from the English and American zones will be transported first. Those from the other zones will follow in due course. About 8,500 bells will be returned altogether: about 150 from Schleswig-Holstein, 650 from Lower Saxony, 800 from Hesse, 350 from Westphalia, 600 from Rhineland, 400 from Baden, 500 from Wurtemberg, and 5,000 from Bavaria.
