The organ town of Stralsund includes some valuable historical organs . The Stellwagen organ from 1659 in the Marienkirche is one of the most important historical organs in Northern Germany. The Buchholz organ from 1841 in the Nikolaikirche is the largest preserved in Germany from the period between 1800 and 1850. There are also other Buchholz organs in the Heilgeistkirche and in Voigdehagen from 1829 and 1846, a Grüneberg organ from 1906 in the Marienkirche and a cabinet organ from 1760/1810 also in the Marienkirche. Instruments from Schuke , Sauer , Jehmlich and Schmeisser were built between 1965 and 1986. The latest works are a positive and a chest organ by Johann-Gottlieb Schmidt from 2007 and 2019, as well as the new large organ by Kristian Wegscheider for the Jakobikirche in the baroque prospectus from 1741, which is expected to be completed in 2020.

The main organ of the St. Nikolai Church was built in 1841 by Carl August Buchholz from Berlin. Friedrich Albert Mehmel carried out changes and modifications in 1879 and 1895. Gustav Heinze added a few registers to the factory in 1935, as did the Schuke company from 1951 to 1955 to 79 registers. In the 1970s the organ became increasingly unplayable. From 2003 to 2006 the organ workshops of Kristian Wegscheider and Johannes Klais restored the organ to its original condition from 1841.
Disposition The organ now has 56 registers again with three manuals and a pedal and mechanical slide chests.

In 1986 another organ was built in the high choir near the high altar by the Schuke company from Potsdam. This was to serve as a replacement for the Buchholz organ, which had become increasingly unplayable. Even after the restored main organ was completed, it remained in use. It is well suited to the accompaniment of instrumental music because it is tuned to today's standard concert pitch.

In 1965, the Sauer company from Frankfurt (Oder) built a positive for the church's chancel. This has three registers: Gedackt 8 ', Rohrflöte 4' and Octave 2 '. The manual ranges from F to d 3 . The air can be supplied with pedals via bellows or an electric motor. It is uncertain whether the instrument is still in the Nikolaikirche.

In the St. Jakobi Church there is an organ, the case of which was built by Christian Gottlieb Richter in 1741 . New buildings followed by Ernst Julius Marx and Friedrich Albert Mehmel . Its organ was so badly damaged and decayed over the decades that a reconstruction or restoration no longer seemed sensible.
That is why in 2018 the organ building workshop was commissioned by Kristian Wegscheider from Dresden to build a new building in the historic housing. It should be based strongly on the historical baroque organs by Christian Gottlieb Richter and Ernst Marx. The pedal windchest from 1741 and 50 wooden pipes from Mehmel can also be used.
The organ should have 51 stops with three manuals and a pedal and be ready in June 2020.
