The three baroque bells originate from Danzig churches, (Gratia Dei and Dominicalis from and Osanna from St. Mary's). After the Second World War, these bells from the "Hamburger bell cemetery" were hung in the tower as temporary replacement bells. In 1951 the German Chancellor, Konrad Adenauer donated a new tenor bell. In 1985 three additional bells were made, completing the set. They have inscriptions referring to peace and reconciliation. In 2005, the belfry was renovated. The steel bell frame from the reconstruction was replaced with a wooden one and the bells were hung directly on wooden yokes, so that the bells ring out with more brilliance. This great peal is easily recognised because of the unusual disposition (intervals between the individual bells); the series of whole tone steps between bells 1–5 results in a distinctive sound with added vibrancy due to the tone of the historic bells.
