Answer: He is not a giant trapped in the tower, he is a really big and famous church bell, lovingly called Fat Peter (Dicker Pitter in Koelsch dialect, Saint Peter’s bell in ’normal’ German). Fat Peter was cast in 1923 and weighs about 24,000 kg, the clapper weighing 700 kg. ‘He” is the largest freely swinging bell in the world and still rings at special occasions in a very deep sound.
