The organ was built from 1746 to 1747 by Johann Adolarius Papenius from Halberstadt for the village church in Hordorf near Oschersleben. It has 20 stops on two manuals and a pedal.

In 1832 Wilhelm Boden from Halberstadt carried out a minor rescheduling. Probably in 1917 the prospect pipes were given up.

In 1974, the company VEB Schuke Orgelbau from Potsdam removed the organ from the church in Hordorf, which was in danger of collapsing, and rebuilt it in Belzig in the north transept. The original disposition from 1747 was restored. The Principal 8 ′ prospect pipes were replaced and the Subbass 16 ′ wooden pipes, which had been damaged by the woodworm, were renewed using the cores. In 1979 the reconstructed and restored instrument was inaugurated again. In 2014 Schuke moved it onto a newly built platform and cleaned it.

The Papenius organ, with 1,102 pipes and 20 registers, is the largest and oldest exhibit in the museum.
