The Freiburg Minster has several organs : the main organ is the so-called St. Mary's organ on the east wall of the northern transept. It is supplemented by the so-called Michael’s organ on the gallery under the tower, which serves to provide sound to the rear area of the minster. A swallow's nest organ , the so-called nave organ , hangs on the north wall of the central nave . The choir organ is located in the southern choir room , and the tower work , a so-called auxiliary work , is in the archive room of the Hahnenturm .
The instruments come from various organ builders ( Rieger , Marcussen , Metzler and Kuhn ). The Marien organ and the nave organ were built between 1964 and 1966, the Marien organ was renewed and rebuilt several times over the years; Today's Michael's organ was rebuilt at the end of 2008, the choir organ and the tower were rebuilt in early 2019.
All instruments can be played from two general console - both individually and in combination with the other instruments. A general console is located in the choir room, the second is mobile. The Marien organ, the Langschif organ and the Michael organ can also be played with mechanical action from your own play equipment.
The organ system has a total of 166 registers and is one of the largest organs in Germany and the world.
history
There is evidence of an organ in the Freiburg Minster from around the 15th century. Organs were first built in the nave and choir and modified over time. In the 19th century, the construction of organ works and an instrument began on the Michaels gallery under the west tower. In the 20th century the (northern) transept was added as a location for the St. Mary's organ.
Longhouse
The first detectable instrument was housed on the north wall of the central nave ; the disposition is not recorded.
Between 1545 and 1548 the organ builder Jörg Ebert (Ravensburg) built a new instrument in the form of a swallow's nest organ at the same location. The organ had 16 registers on slider chests and three effect Register birdsong , hertrumen (army Trummen) and Rohraffe .
In the years 1817 - 1818, the organ builders Matthias and Ludwig Martin (Waldkirch) renovated the central nave organ; In the course of this, the Rückpositiv was permanently changed, according to the sound ideal of romantic dispositions at the time. In 1839 the instrument was rebuilt by the organ builder Joseph Merklin and changed again permanently.
In 1870, the organ builder Louis-Benoit Hooghuys (Bruges) built a new center-aisle organ with 16 registers on the main work, positive manual (alternating loops from the main work) and pedal. The new organ was donated by Baron Sir John Sutton, and probably built into the existing housing , which received new double doors.
This instrument was replaced in 1929 by a new building by the organ building company M. Welte & Söhne , whereby the case of the previous center-nave organ was greatly enlarged; the Welte organ had 58 stops (including 8 transmissions) on three manual works and a pedal, with electric play and stop action . In addition, a high-pressure work with 8 registers and a remote work with 9 registers were built on the Michael's gallery in the west tower, on which the resounding Contra Tuba (55th) 32 'stood. An electrical main console was set up in the entrance to the choir room, from which all organ works (including Walcker's choir organ) could be played.
After a short time, the new, large central organ was found to be unsatisfactory in terms of sound. But also under optical aspects it was perceived as a foreign body - the instrument protruded 2.6 meters into the nave, was 11 meters high and 10 meters wide. Therefore, the instrument was dismantled again in 1936, the organ case was brought back to the old proportions and equipped with a new, baroque organ. The instrument had 14 registers and 5 transmissions on two manual works and a pedal. In 1945/46 the organ builder W. Dold rebuilt the instrument. The Mittelschifforgel was dismantled in 1964, installed in St. Laurentius (Bötzingen) in 1965, and dismantled again in 1998 and has since been stored in the Sixtus Lampl / Valley Organ Museum .
In 1995 the organ building company Marcussen and Søn (Aabenraa / Denmark) built today's nave organ .

Choir
former choir organ from 1990/91
A first organ was also in the choir early. From the records of the Münsterfabrik from 1595/96 it can be inferred that at that time there was an organ in the upper choir, which was built by the organ builder Hans Werner Muderer (Freiburg). The disposition is not known.
Between 1811 and 1813, the organ builder Nikolaus Schuble (Pfaffenweiler) built a new instrument in the choir room. The instrument had 15 stops on a manual mechanism and pedal.
In 1881 the organ building company EF Walcker (Ludwigsburg) built a new choir organ. The instrument was first presented at the industrial exhibition in Stuttgart and then placed in the choir of the minster. The prospectus designed by the archbishop's building department was integrated into the choir stalls of the lower choir. The mechanical organ work had 33 registers (cone chests) on two manual works and a pedal and was arranged in the romantic style.
In 1929 and 1936, the organ building company M. Welte & Söhne equipped the instrument with electropneumatic action and connected it to the main electric console for all organs to work together. The instrument was dismantled in the early 1960s and is no longer preserved today.
1964 to 1966 the organ building company Rieger (Schwarzach / Vorarlberg) built a new choir organ. Until 1990 the instrument stood in the first yoke of the north wall of the choir above the stalls of the cathedral chapter. In the course of the redesign of the choir room in 1990/91, the instrument was changed and installed by the organ building company Fischer and Krämer (Endingen) in a new case on the gallery in the first yoke of the choir room on the south side. The slider-drawer instrument had 25 stops on two manual works and a pedal and could only be played from the main electrical console. The Rieger choir organ was dismantled in 2018 and installed in the Church of Our Lady in Salem- Mimmenhausen .
The organ building company Kuhn AG ( Männedorf , ZH) built the new choir organ at the same location .

Michaelsempore
Organ works on the Michaelsempore were first installed in 1929, in connection with the expansion of the nave organ. The organ building company M. Welte & Sons built two auxiliary works on the tower gallery: a swellable high pressure plant (200 mm water column) and a swellable remote control. These were dependent works of the organ system, which could be played from a central console.
The sound of the Langschifforgel from 1929 proved to be inadequate for the church interior, so that the instrument was replaced by a new instrument as early as 1936. The Welte organ had to be housed elsewhere in the cathedral and was partially set up on the Michael's gallery. It was an independent instrument with 27 registers on two manual works and a pedal. This instrument served as an accompanying gel for the choir. The remote mechanism from 1929 was integrated into the Michael’s organ, the high pressure mechanism from 1929 initially remained unchanged, but could be played from a third manual of the Michael’s organ.
In 1965, the organ building company Späth (Ennetach and Freiburg) built a new instrument with 28 registers on two manuals and a pedal using parts of the 1929 brochure. This instrument was dismantled in 2008 and placed in the Trinity Church in Sarajevo. In 2008, the Metzler organ building company built the new Michael’s organ .

Transept
The first considerations to set up a main organ in the transept were made in the middle of the 19th century. In 1856 an instrument was planned in the south transept with 36 stops on three manuals and a pedal. It was not until 1936 that the first organ was installed in the north transept; it was the organ of the nave organ built by M. Welte & Sons in 1929, which was largely installed as the new main organ in the transept. The instrument was dismantled in 1964. In its place, the Rieger Orgelbau company built today's St. Mary 's organ in 1965 .

Today's organs
Organ system in the Freiburg Minster
The Münster organ system consists of five instruments. The main organ is the Marien organ on the east wall in the north transept, built in 1965 by the Rieger organ building company. The nave organ in the form of a swallow's nest organ was built in 1965 by the Marcussen organ building company. The Michael’s organ on the gallery under the tower ( Michaelskapelle ) was built in 2008 by the organ building company Metzler. These three instruments each have their own playing systems. In addition, since 2019 there have been two instruments without their own playing systems: the choir organ and the tower.
Marian organ
The Marien organ in the north aisle was built in 1965 by the organ building company Rieger ( Schwarzach, Vorarlberg ). The instrument hangs on the east wall of the north transept; it was not placed on the north gallery in order not to obstruct the glass art of the north wall and to ensure better sound radiation in the main nave.
The organ is housed in an oak case with a total of 9 towers. In the middle of the instrument is a niche with the mechanical play equipment. The slider chest instrument has 61 registers (4204 pipes) and a glockenspiel on four manual works and a pedal. The sub-works are arranged around the organ's play area: in the two left towers the pedal mechanism, below the play system the positive, to the right of it the main mechanism, above the play system the chest mechanism and above in 3 towers the swell mechanism. The playing and stopping actions are mechanically and electrically designed as double actions, as the St. Mary's organ is also connected to the general console in the choir.
Between 2000 and 2001, the instrument was overhauled by the organ builder Caspar Smooth-Götz (Owingen) and through the voicer Beat Grenacher (Lucerne) nachintoniert . The goal was u. a. to give the instrument more fundamental tone. In this course, a tongue register in the positive was replaced and three registers in the swell mechanism were exchanged; Furthermore, the mixture choirs in the main and swell works were reduced and some of them rearranged. In addition, two stops have been added: a carillon has been installed on the roof of the instrument and the pedals have been extended by a pedestal 32 '; In the absence of sufficient space, this pedal register was not housed in the St. Mary's organ , but on the St. Michael's gallery, lying under the St. Michael's organ . In 2008 the register was removed from the St. Mary's organ: the pipes of the base 32 ′ were reworked into the Grand Bourdon 32 ′, replaced with new wind chests and incorporated into the St. Michael's organ; the base 32 'can therefore no longer be played from the Marien organ.
In 2017 the Marienorgel was again renovated and technically revised by the builder company Rieger. The large number of visitors to the minster and the associated contamination, candle soot and temperature fluctuations required thorough cleaning, maintenance and mood.
The register names in the following correspond to the spelling on the mechanical console of the organ.

Michael's organ
Michael's organ in the west
The Michael’s organ is located in the westwork on the west gallery (tower chapel). Their main task is to fill the rear area of the minster with sound. The instrument was rebuilt in 2008 by the organ building company Metzler (Dietikon, Switzerland). It replaces an organ (28 registers) from 1965, built by the organ building company Späth (Ennetach and Freiburg), which no longer met the technical and sonic requirements.
The Michael’s organ has 43 registers, including four transmissions and an effect register, on three manual works and a pedal (mechanical slider chests). The works are housed in the two pipe towers made of untreated oak, which are visible from the church interior, and a further, invisible swell, which is located under the west window. The gaming table is located in the middle between the two visible pipe towers. The game actions are mechanical, the stop actions and couplings are electric. In addition, the game actions were applied electrically so that the instrument can also be played from the general console.
Since 2008, the pipes of the former base 32 ′ ( housed under the Michael’s organ as part of the St. Mary’s organ in 2001 ) have been part of the St. The pipes are on the side walls of the tower chapel.

Nave organ
"Roraffe" under the nave organ, who can raise the trumpet to his mouth
The nave organ (incorrectly also called the longship organ) is a swallow's nest organ and hangs on the northern wall of the longship. The instrument was built in 1965 by the organ building company Marcussen & Søn (Aabenraa / Denmark) and renovated in 2019 by the organ building company Metzler (Switzerland).
The organ case was laid out / reconstructed based on the historical Ebert organ from 1545. Since the original Rückpositiv no longer existed, it was rebuilt by the Marcussen company and is a copy of the main housing on a 1: 4 scale. The organ pulpit probably dates from the time of Ebert's instrument and has only changed slightly over time changed. Above all, the two historical sculptures created by Sixt von Staufen have been preserved: a cane monkey from 1530 and a statue of the Virgin Mary from 1545 with a ray mandorla added in 1929 ; In addition, other decorative figures and veil boards from different centuries were integrated into the case.
The slider chest instrument has 21 registers (1,615 pipes) on two manual works and a pedal. The instrument is arranged according to baroque sound concepts. The key actions on the console of the nave organ are mechanical, the stop actions are electrical.

Choir organ
Choir organ (2019), main brochure
The choir organ is located on the southern choir gallery. It was set up by Orgelbau Kuhn from Männedorf (Switzerland) in the Münster and was consecrated and played for the first time at Easter 2019. The instrument has a double cover, like the choir organ by EF Walcker (from 1881 to 1964). The main prospectus faces the choir area, the side prospectus faces the ambulatory. The choir organ can be played from the main console or a midi console that can be freely placed. The organ has 24 sounding stops, three transmissions and five extensions.

Tower structure
Sound window of the tower in the east wall of the south transept
With the new construction of the choir organ in 2019, the organ building company Kuhn (Männedorf) installed an auxiliary unit to supplement the organ system. The dependent instrument serves in particular to support the Marien organ and the new choir organ; it should give them more fullness and warmth of sound in the lower and middle registers and supplement the disposition with a few reeds. The tower does not have its own play area, but can only be played from the general gaming tables.
The instrument is installed in a small room above the Nikolauskapelle in the southern Hahnenturm and for this reason is called "Turmwerk"; the room served as a municipal archive until the beginning of the 20th century. The sound radiates through a window in the archive room into the nave. The organ has 9 registers (416 pipes), which are divided into three sections and can be registered (electrical single tone control).

Play area
The Michael, the Marien and the nave organ each have their own console, the choir organ and the tower do not. All instruments can be played from two general console, both individually and together as an organ system.
General console in the choir
One of the general gaming tables is located at the entrance to the high choir near the celebration altar . It was built in December 2013 by the organ building workshop Johannes Klais from Bonn , financed by the Eugen Martin Foundation and the Archdiocese , and adapted in 2019 as part of the installation of the choir organ and the tower. The arc-shaped console has four manuals and offers the organist the possibility of pre-defining timbres and changing them while playing; The maximum values of the crescendo and decrescendo wheels can be limited using the new roller limiter. Together with the installation of the new console, the electrics of the organs were brought up to date. The playing and stop actions are electric.
All works of the instruments can be freely assigned to all manuals and the pedal. In the standard setting, the individual works are distributed among the four manuals (left column) as follows:

Additional gaming table (mobile)
In the course of the new construction of the choir organ, the cathedral received another general console. It is a console that was developed by the August Laukhuff company and that controls the organ system via a midi interface. The additional game table can be set up at various locations in the minster and is primarily used to accompany the weekly Vespers and other church services in the high choir. The registers and playing aids of the organs are controlled via two large touch monitors.
Concerts
Outside of church services you can hear the organs at various concert series. During the summer months there are the international organ concerts on Tuesday evening with many guest organists. Between April and December, the organs sound on Saturdays during a 25-minute matinée, and during Lent on Friday evenings. Around monthly there is the opportunity to take part in a guided tour of the four Münster organs under the name of Orgeldialog .
