The organ of St. Pankratius in Hamburg-Ochsenwerder , a rural area of Hamburg in the Vierlanden on the Elbe , was built by Arp Schnitger in 1707/1708 and rebuilt several times. It received its present form when Rudolf von Beckerath was rebuilt in 1966, which included the old case and the preserved Schnitger registers. The instrument has 24  registers , which are divided into two manuals and pedal.

Building history

New building by Schnitger 1707–1708

The parish of St. Pankratius (Ochsenwerder) signed a contract with Schnitger on July 3, 1707 for a new organ with 28 registers. 3,000 marks were agreed for wages and materials. In addition, the positive was given in payment, which had probably already served in the previous church in 1632. Schnitger built two additional stops at his own expense, so that the organ comprised 30 stops when it was accepted. The instrument was accepted on December 2, 1708 by Vincent Lübeck . Shortly before, Schnitger's son Hans, who was involved in the construction, drowned while bathing in the Elbe.

The prospectus has nine axes. The main structure occupies the upper middle area: the polygonal central tower and two flanking pointed towers are connected by two-storey flat fields. Two-storey flat fields of the same design lead over to the polygonal pedal towers, which are not free-standing but are included in the joint brochure. In the lower area of ​​the breastwork there are flat fields in different shapes. All two-story fields have a profiled transom bar in the middle . The case is decorated on both sides by carved acanthus with volutes , which can be found as the upper and lower end of all pipe fields and the low case structures.

In 1708 was planning with short octave as follows:

Extension conversions

In 1783 Joachim Wilhelm Geycke repaired the organ. Christian Heinrich Wolfsteller modernized it in 1884–1885. Paul Rother carried out a profound modernization in 1911, who expanded the instrument to 32 registers. Rother built in pneumatic cone drawers and a new play cupboard.

Rudolf von Beckerath Orgelbau built a new instrument in 1966 using the preserved Schnitger registers behind the historical prospectus. Beckerath used mechanical grinding chests again and leaned on the original disposition, but did not restore it.
