Advanced Description
This is is an experimental feature. Please report any issues.A 'Glocke' is a German noun that translates to 'bell' in English. It refers to a hollow, metallic instrument that produces sound when struck or rung.
In Germany, bells have been used for centuries as a means of communication and signaling. They are commonly found in churches, where they are rung to mark the time, call people to worship, or announce important events.
Glocken can vary in size and shape, ranging from small handbells to large church bells. They are typically made of bronze or brass and are suspended from a frame or tower. The sound produced by a Glocke can be loud and resonant, carrying over long distances.
