…that Passau’s Cathedral has eight church bells?

The names are:: Pummerin, Misericordia, Stürmerin, Dignitär, Predigerin, Angelusbell, 11 o’clock bell and Choir bell.
The heaviest  bell is the Pummerin at 7.850 kilos, the Choir bell the lightest of all at  525 kilos.
Six bells are hanging in the northern (left) tower, two in the southern tower.
Except for the Stürmerin which dates from the year 1733 all other bells were either newly or repoured in the 19th and 20th century.
