A YouTube video (12:30) is titled
"Hamburg Altona / St. Pauli: St. Joseph Church the carillon strikes the hour".
This church, now in the St.Pauli district, was originally in the Altona district,
which is why we list it that way.
At 7:58 in the video, the camera zooms in, and the bells can be seen in 4 rows behind a screen;
at 11:35, voorslag 4 strokes on A, then hour 5 strokes on E.
The producer of this video has many others of Hamburg church bells (1 to 5)
The German Wikipedia
article about the church
mentions the dedication of the original bells; the later expansion to 25 is mentioned
in the paragraph about the organ.
There is a photo of the facade, and a mention of three bells on the east side
(but that must be the courtyard on the liturgical east, not the geographical east,
which is the front entrance).
The Wikimedia Commons category for the building has several photos of the facade,
but none of the three bells mentioned in the text.
