When it comes to church bells, Weilheimer Walter Erdt is asked by the evangelical parishes in the region. He is not only director of church music and retired dean’s cantor, but also official bell expert for the Evangelical Church in Bavaria, responsible for thousands of bells – for example in the district of Starnberg, in Bad Tölz, in Munich, and in the region south of the Danube.
