organ
The organ is a work from the years 1744 to 1746 by Tobias Heinrich Gottfried Trost . After several revisions in the 19th and 20th centuries, the instrument now has 11 stops on a manual and pedal . Between 1967 and 1970 the organ was restored by Hermann Lahmann according to the original arrangement. The instrument deserves special attention as a monument to baroque organ architecture, but due to repeated modifications and repairs, only a few parts of the baroque organ have survived. This includes the housing, the manual wind chest , parts of the pedal wind chest and parts of the bellows system.
