The Concordia 2000 is about 3.1 m high. It is an elegant and filigree construction. In a way, the ski mountain
Kronplatz has got its own crown. The slender bell tower with its delicate peak was constructed on an 11 m wide
panorama platform. Inside the tower there is the mighty and over 18 tonne heavy Concordia bell. It was designed
by the artist Paul de Doss - Moroder from Gröden and made by the bell foundry Oberascher in Salzburg (Austria).
Its position is just as extraordinary as its purpose. „Donet deus populis pacem“. This inscription means “God gives
peace to the people” which is also the message of the peace bell Concordia 2000.
The Concordia is already a sight for its exposed position. Via the natural stone fundament you reach the viewing
platform with its panorama relief which displays the surrounding mountains. It is an ideal place to experience the
wonderful mountain landscape between the Zillertaler Alps and the Dolomites and its peace on an altitude of
2,275 m. It is a place to enjoy and meditate. The Concordia bell is stroken on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and
Sunday at 12 a.m.
