Page "Bell (instrument)" Paragraph 31

* The St. Petersglocke, in the local dialect of Cologne also called " Dicke Pitter " ( fat Peter ), is a bell in Germany's Cologne Cathedral.

It weighs 24 tons and was cast in 1922.

It is the largest functioning free-swinging bell in the world that swings around the top.

( The Gotenba Bell and the World Peace Bell swing around the center of gravity, which is more like turning than swinging.

So, depending on the point of view, the St. Petersglocke may be up to now the largest free-swinging bell in the world.
