Church's 'Hitler bell' strikes duff note in tiny German town
Church's 'Hitler bell' strikes duff note in tiny German town The church bell in Herxheim am Berg has been ringing over the tiny, wine region town for around 82 years. But some say its Nazi inscription should be reason to make it history. The idyllic, 700-person village of Herxheim am Berg sits among rows of green vineyards in Rhineland-Palatinate, its 1,000-year-old Protestant church rising above as the one, proud landmark. But the church, like many surviving old buildings in post-war Germany, has a direct link to the country’s Nazi past - only this one is still visible. https://www.thelocal.de/20170607/chu...es-say-critics |

Village in southwest Germany votes to keep 'Hitler bell' as mémorial
A German village has decided to keep a contentious Nazi-era church bell that bears a swastika and the words "All for the Fatherland - Adolf Hitler", arguing it serves as a reminder of the country's dark past. The parish council of Herxheim voted 10-3 on Monday that the bronze bell from 1934 should remain as "an impetus for reconciliation and a memorial against violence and injustice". The council rejected an offer by the regional Protestant Church to pay for taking down the 240 kilogram bell and replacing it. https://www.thelocal.de/20180227/ger...ll-as-memorial |
