Barem is a decked Register of Organ from the Baroque era. It was first mentioned in 1555 for the Schwerin cathedral organ, which had a bar in a 4 'position with 52 pipes. According to Michael Praetorius, it is an “equal act even still un linde intoniret ”. It is mostly implemented as an 8 'register. Georg Christoph Stertzing only built a Barem 16 ′ in the organ of Eisenach's Georgenkirche . From the second half of the 18th century the register was almost forgotten and only occasionally was built again in the course of the organ movement , for example in 1937 in the organ of St. Lorenz in Nuremberg by GF Steinmeyer & Co. The word meaning is not clear and can either from “Barm”, the yeast that settles on the bottom when brewing beer , or from the Mecklenburg word “Barm” for (quiet) grief.
