In this 'room' the old Pummerin was hanging from 1711 till 1945.
The Old Pummerin was destroyed in a fire caused by looters of near-by shops at the end of World War II, when its wooden cradle burned through and the bell crashed onto the stone floor of the south tower on April 12, 1945.
Now the new Pummerin is housed in the North Tower.
