history
Reubke organ
1868 bought parish one for Buckau built romantic organ of the company Reubke from Hausneindorf .
Beyer organ
When Biederitz developed from a poor village to a villa suburb of Magdeburg at the turn of the century , the desire for a new organ grew. In 1912 the Magdeburg organ building company Eduard Beyer installed a new, pneumatic organ in the old Reubke prospectus . This organ was already in need of an overhaul in the 1930s. It has not been playable since the second half of the 1980s. A new organ was ordered from the Brode company in Heiligenstadt , which was to be built into the old prospectus. The Beyer organ was dismantled in 1989 in order to prepare a new building. The turning point prevented the project and the contract with the Brode company was canceled. Thus the Biederitz church had been without an organ since 1989.
Ladegast organ
The Biederitzer Kantorei was founded in 1989 and the Biederitzer Musiksommer was launched in 1990 . An organ was missing to improve the musical possibilities in the church services and concerts. Against this background, the idea arose to integrate the Ladegast organ into the Biederitz church.
Friedrich Ladegast originally built this organ in 1866 for the church in Plennschütz near Weißenfels . At the beginning of the 1980s, the Plennschützer Church had to be abandoned because of serious moisture problems. That is why it was moved to the north aisle of Güstrow Cathedral .
There were several reasons for the implementation of the Ladegast organ in the Biederitz church:
- The Biederitz Church with its simple hall and its horseshoe-shaped gallery corresponded to the Plennschützer Church.
- The country of origin of the organ is Saxony-Anhalt .
- The Biederitz organ history began in the Romantic era . This fact also spoke in favor of the romantic Ladegast organ.
- Alongside Friedrich Ladegast, Adolf Reubke was one of the most important German organ builders of that direction.
The Förderkreis Biederitzer Kantorei e. V. founded. In 1996 the Ladegast organ was transferred from Güstrow to Biederitz. The implementation and restoration were carried out by the Wegscheider organ workshop . The organ was inaugurated in June 1997.
Since then, the Ladegast organ has been heard both in church services and in concerts of the Biederitz Music Summer , including the annual Biederitz Tasting Night and 30 minutes of organ music in the series .
