Many Viennese were woken up on Wednesday night. Not from a siren, but from the sound of the bells of St. Stephen’s Cathedral, which lasted around 20 minutes. The reason: an incorrect switching.
At 2.11 a.m. the bells began to chime in Vienna’s St. Stephen’s Cathedral and lasted around 20 minutes. It took so long before cathedral priest Toni Faber could personally put an end to the ringing, as the press spokesman for the Archdiocese of Vienna, Michael Prüller, confirmed. “… or I have a Catholic tinnitus”. initially suspected, but the festive bells of the cathedral. Cabaret artist Michael Niavarani also heard the nightly spectacle: “So either the church bells are ringing in Vienna or I have Catholic tinnitus,” he joked on Facebook before wishing him a good night. Archdiocese apologizes to “everyone who was woken up” Now it is to be investigated what caused the faulty switching. The responsible company was already busy finding the error in the morning. “We apologize to everyone who was awakened by this,” emphasized Prüller.
