Here are 3 of the old church bells of the local church in Jesuborn. They are standing at the southern entrance of the local cemetery.

The bigger one of the three is even standing with its frame.

A brief overview taken from the chronic of Jesuborn:

1945/46
By the ammunition blasting in the 'Esbach' near Gehren the church takes bigger damage. In particular the window panes get broken in big number.

1968
The roof was split into thin sheets. The bell tower is torn off on the 23rd March by the voluntary fire brigades Gehren and Jesuborn. The bells are used 26 years misappropriated as a flower tub.

1993
A completely new roof line and new windows in the attic let the church of Jesuborn shine anew. In the cemetery the bell frame with a restored bell from the former bell tower on the occasion of the 625-annual celebration of Jesuborn is initiated on the 4th September solemnly.
