The Lullusglocke is the oldest datable cast bell in Germany. The inscription indicates it was cast on 24 June 1038. It hangs in the Catherine Tower in the ruins of the monastery of Bad Hersfeld in Hesse.
In 2002 the bell tower was repaired by the Friends of the Stiftsruine. As part of the works the old clapper was removed and hung in the Stadtsmuseum. A new clapper has been fitted and the bell can now be rung. The bell is suspended from a new yoke and is rung by pulling on ropes.
