Wie man Allgäuer Kuhschellen schmiedet | SWR Handwerkskunst

In the midst of the picturesque mountain landscape of the Allgäu, a masterpiece of craftsmanship is created with 10,000 hammer blows. Angelus Höbel, cowbell smith in Blaichach, is a passionate master of his trade. From October to May, he transforms red-hot sheet steel into cowbells full of character in the Bertele family's metalworking shop. Blow by blow, Angelus carefully shapes the clamp. He cuts the sheet metal with precision and hammers the red-hot workpiece on the anvil. With every movement, he keeps the tradition alive as he shapes the bell with tireless dedication. The first sound is the reward for his craft, which has become rare in a world of mass production. The importance of this traditional craft for the Alpine region is impressively brought to life here. A fascinating insight into the art of cowbell making, which shapes the sound of the Allgäu and strengthens its cultural roots.
