It was poured on Saturday and is named after the Benedictine monk Walter von Pontoise.

In the Offenbach quarter “An den Eichen” a bell was cast for the Marienkirche on Saturday. For this, copper and tin were heated to over 1000 degrees in a melting furnace and poured into a mold. On Sunday the bell had cooled down enough that it could be dug up and cored. The fine-tuning follows in a foundry, the sound test is still pending. The bell is named after Walter von Pontoise, a Benedictine monk.
