Building history

New building by Schnitger in 1699

Location on the double gallery

Schnitger built the organ according to the contract of April 19, 1699 with 16 stops in the main work , chest work and attached pedal. Of the agreed price of 480  Reichstalers , only 50 Rtlr were initially paid when the contract was signed and a further 50 Rtlr. paid. Only after successful acceptance should the payment of the remaining sum of 380 Rtlr. respectively. Otherwise a division into three thirds was usual. The organ was set up on the new west gallery and after six months it was accepted on October 17, 1699 by the Oldenburg organist JH Wichard. Otto Diedrich Richborn , who was Schnitger's journeyman between 1697 and 1700, was involved in the new building .

The main work has the five-part structure typical of Schnitger with a polygonal central tower, two pointed towers on the sides and two-story flat fields in between. The crowning carving and the veil work in the pipe fields and chest doors consist of acanthus motifs with volutes . The prospect pipes are made of leaded metal and were therefore not delivered during the First World War. There is no tongue voice in the breastwork .

Expansion by Klapmeyer in 1760

In 1760 Johann Hinrich Klapmeyer added an independent pedal with six voices in two lateral pedal towers. The new towers and Schnitger's main work are connected to one another by flat fields with silent pipes, underneath there is a small pipe field on both sides, each with four blinding pipes. The shape of the prospect pipes is adapted to that of Schnitger, the acanthus leaves are slightly thinner than Schnitger. In 1766 the organ had a red frame and the edges of the two cornices were gilded.

Later work

Johann Claussen Schmid repaired the organ, replaced the bellows and wind tunnels and, among other things, exchanged the pedal mixture for a 16 ′ sub-bass in 1819/1820 , because all the advantages would be deficient: “Unfortunately, the indispensable sub-bass 16 register is missing when praeluding ′ In the pedal ”. In 1889/1890, his son Johann Martin Schmid carried out a reconstruction, which drastically changed the sound concept of the instrument and replaced high registers with fundamentally sounding ones. In 1929 Karl Kemper from Lübeck installed an electric blower.

Various renovations in the 20th century led to further changes. In 1934/1935 and 1948 Alfred Führer made changes to the layout and in doing so approached the original layout again, but also replaced the trumpet 8 ′ in the main work. With all the deficiencies that are recognizable from today's perspective, the approach taken by Führer with his respect for the historical substance is considered a pioneering achievement of the early organ movement . During the Second World War the organ was outsourced. Emil Hammer Orgelbau carried out the reinstallation in 1946. In 1958 Gustav Brönstrup rebuilt two of the Führer registers. In 1966, a renewed restoration was carried out by Führer, who was largely based on the disposition of 1699/1700, but partially renewed the technical area in a modern design.

restoration

Since the restoration efforts so far remained unsatisfactory, a third restoration by Führer began in 2003, which was interrupted by the dissolution of the company. Heiko Lorenz, who founded the workshop again, completed the work in 2004/2005. All registers made after 1760 have been faithfully reconstructed. The sub-bass 16 ′, which was replaced in the 20th century, was rebuilt in the old construction and retained in the disposition. Lorenz reconstructed three wedge bellows and the missing front key coverings of the original manual keyboards . The project cost 320,000 euros and was supervised by Harald Vogel .
