history
The old castle without a modern extension
The castle with the modern extension
In 1983, in his capacity as organ consultant at the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments , Lampl tried to save the Koulen organ , built in 1914 in the Martinskirche Landshut , one of the last great romantic organs in Bavaria , from being scrapped. Since there was no buyer for such a large organ, he finally bought it himself. When no suitable installation site could be found for this organ, he and his wife Inge bought the ruins of the old castle in Valley in 1987 and restored it.
building
In 2015 there are three buildings on the area of the Organ Museum. All three buildings (Altes Schloss, Bundwerkstadel and Zollingerhalle) are under monument protection (file number: D-1-82-133-9 (Altes Schloss) )
The old castle
Decades after its restoration, the old castle was extended by an extension (new building), which supports the mighty south-east gable of the old building and in which space was created for the installation of several organs suitable for concerts. The largest single piece here is the Moser organ of the Gößweinstein basilica with 42 registers, which is set up next to the small concert hall (old building) so that one has a view of the two-story organ interior from above. Many organs and organ parts are stored in the multi-storey granary of the old castle, including the old organ of the Munich Frauenkirche and that of the congress hall of the German Museum .
Bundwerkstadel
In a baroque Bundwerkstadel , which was rebuilt in 1993, a first depot for further organs was created. Moved from Oberdarching, Bergstrasse 52.
Zollingerhalle
Roof construction of the Zollingerhalle
In 2001 Lampl had a former sawmill hall in "customs construction" moved to the organ center area (original address: Grub, Helfendorfer Straße 2), which is now used as a depot as well as an exhibition and concert hall. Six organs are set up in the hall for concerts. It offers space for 200 listeners. In the basement of the hall there is a "sounding depot" in which instruments are temporarily set up and restored.
Some organs, after being stored and restored in the organ center, were put back in churches and are being used again. One example is the Zeilhuber choir organ from the Frauenkirche in Munich, which is now located in St. Katharina in Munich .
Organs in the Zollingerhalle
Steinmeyer organ III / 54 (Heidelberg)
Large Steinmeyer organ in the Zollingerhalle (III / 54)
The organ was originally built in 1956 as Opus 1859 by GF Steinmeyer & Co. for the Jesuit Church in Heidelberg. In 1970 Steinmeyer made a minor change in disposition there. When a new building by Orgelbau Kuhn was due there in 2004 , the Steinmeyer organ was transferred to Valley, adapted there to the spatial conditions and placed on the rear gallery of the Zollingerhalle. Initially, the console was up on the gallery in front of the organ, at a later point in time (around 2013) it was moved to the ground floor and is now mobile. The instrument also has electro-pneumatic pocket drawers .
The Steinmeyer organ is the largest playable organ in the Valley Organ Center. Concerts take place here regularly.

Röver organ II / 18 (Hamburg)
The Röver organ, built in 1896, was originally built for the church of the Schröderstift hospice in Hamburg and was converted to neo-Baroque style by Beckerath in 1954 . The middle picture is by Cesare Mussini . The church in Schröderstift has been used as an Orthodox church since 1972 and the organ is no longer used for this reason. It then became unplayable until the instrument was given to the Valley Organ Center on permanent loan from the City of Hamburg. There the Röver organ was set up at the front of the Zollingerhalle. The instrument has fully pneumatic box drawers.
Neo-Baroque disposition since 1954:

Bayr organ I / 11 (Ellingen)
Bayr organ (I / 11) in the reconstructed case
Anton Bayr's Opus 1 was built in Munich in 1745 for the Franciscan Church in Ellingen . After the secularization in 1803, the instrument came to the parish church of the Assumption of Mary in Walting . After several far-reaching renovations in the 19th and 20th centuries, a new building was planned by Siegfried Schmid in 2002 . The historic case from Bayr was reused on site, while the inner workings of the organ were transferred to Valley. After extensive restoration and reconstruction of the original disposition and the housing, it was finally re-erected in the Zollingerhalle. The instrument has fully mechanical slide chests.

Führer multiplex organ III / 4 (Cuxhaven)
The multiplex organ , built in 1964 by the Alfred Führer company , was last in Cuxhaven and was installed by Sixtus Lampl in the Zollingerhalle Valley. The organ has four rows of pipes, from which 14 registers are generated according to the multiplex principle, which can be played on three manuals and pedal. The entire organ is actually swellable, but the swell blinds have been removed for demonstration purposes. The instrument has fully electric box drawers. To better distinguish the rows of pipes, these are marked with the letters A to D in the following disposition.

Virtual Laurentius organ II / 29 (Nuremberg)
Former general console with a virtual sample of the Laurentius organ from St. Lorenz Nuremberg
In the course of the major organ renovation in the St. Lorenz Church in Nuremberg in 2004/05, the Laurentius organ was dismantled and replaced by a new one from the Klais company. In 2008 the instrument was sold to Marktoberdorf, where it was rebuilt, slightly modified, on the gallery of the parish church of St. Magnus. The original five-manual general console of the entire system is today in the Valley Organ Center and was midified there . In 2015 the organ was sampled in Marktoberdorf and can now also be heard digitally in Valley from the first two manuals and the pedal of the original general console.

Organs in the old castle
Moser organ II / 38 (Gößweinstein)
Detail of the gaming table
The Moser organ was built in 1939 for the Gößweinstein basilica . When a new building was carried out there in 1987/88 by the Mathis company , Sixtus Lampl saved the important instrument and set it up in the organ hall of the Old Castle Valley over two floors. Since the historical baroque case remained in the Gößweinstein basilica, the organ has no prospectus. The original Moser gaming table had already been replaced by a newer Eisenschmid gaming table in Gößweinstein . For stylistic reasons, the console of the so-called “Frühamtsorgel”, which Moser had also built in 1934, was connected to the Moser organ, which was taken over from Einsiedeln Abbey . The instrument has electro-pneumatic cone chests.

Koulen organ II / 9 (Frankenried)
The Koulen organ was originally built in 1901 for the parish church of St. Andreas in Frankenried (in the Allgäu). When a new building in the old case was due there in 1991 by Offner Organ Builders , the Koulen organ was transferred to Valley and stored. In 2013 the restored instrument was placed behind a historical baroque prospect in the organ hall of the Old Castle Valley. The prospectus comes from the parish church in Pürgen and originally contained an organ by Franz Thoma and later also a Koulen organ, which, however, has not been preserved. Today a comparable Koulen organ can be found behind this prospectus. The instrument has fully pneumatic membrane drawers.

Siebert organ II / 12 (Flensburg)
The organ was built in 1931 by Dr. Karl Siebert built according to the plans of Hans Henny Jahnn and stood in his private house in Flensburg until his death in 1948. Between 1948 and 1964 the organ in Lübeck was owned by the organist Walter Kraft. In 1964 the Klais company moved the instrument to Niederbachem (North Rhine-Westphalia), where it was installed in the private home of Hans Victor and Karin Böttcher (née Siebert and daughter of the builder Dr. Karl Siebert). In 2012, the instrument was handed over to the Valley Organ Center and, after extensive restoration, was re-erected in 2015 in the upper hall of the Old Castle Valley. The instrument has fully mechanical slide chests.

Baroque positive I / 5 (Hofendorf)
The positive was built in the 17th century for the parish church Hofendorf near Neufahrn in Lower Bavaria . After expansion in the 18th century, it was transferred to the neighboring town of Walpersdorf around 1890 and installed in the local branch church. For a long time the organ was unplayable there and the metal pipes were almost completely looted. The instrument was restored in the Valley Organ Center and supplemented with historical pipes (including prospect pipes from Friedrich Ladegast ). The instrument has fully mechanical slide chests .

Oskalyd cinema organ II / 17 (Heidelberg)
Oskalyd cinema organ in the basement hall
"Fernwerk" (placed inside the organ today)
A special feature of the organ museum is located in the underground cellar hall. The cinema organ was built as Walcker Opus 2135 by the Oskalyd consortium , consisting of the companies Walcker , Luedtke and Hammer , for the Capitol cinema in Heidelberg and inaugurated on October 6, 1927. Both manual works were in separate swellable chambers and the remote work was in the attic of the cinema. The sound was emitted through a 25 m long duct and through an opening in the dome of the cinema hall. When the Capitol Cinema was to be demolished in 1971, the instrument was quickly stored in Heidelberg Castle and re-installed in 1980 in the Königssaal. Now the Königsaal was renovated in 2007 and the Oskalyd organ was dismantled again and stored in a room in Schwetzingen Castle. In 2013 the instrument was finally transferred to Valley and made playable again in the following years by Sixtus Lampl . The instrument has been playable again since autumn 2018 and is located in the underground cellar hall.

↑ The normal roller is used to operate the general sill. Since originally all three manuals were swellable separately, there is an activation under the first manual to determine which swell (I, II or FW) the roller should act on. Since the organ only has a general sill today, only the sill I button has a function
-
↑ a b c When one of these playing aids is activated, the effect registers, which can actually be switched on individually and directly using a register switch, are only triggered by the correspondingly selected keyboard. This is how percussion effects can be created.
Organs in the "Klingendes Depot"
Sixtus Lampl set up a “Sounding Depot” on the two basement floors of the Zollingerhalle . Among other things, some playable organs and, above all, numerous individual gaming tables are housed there. There are also dining tables and seats on a mezzanine. The concept behind the sounding depot is to illustrate the various action and windchest systems . There is a playable sample organ for every type of system, with the covers deliberately omitted or replaced by Plexiglas to give the visitor the opportunity to observe the action during the game.
Wiedemann organ II / 17 (Mürsbach)
Wiedemann organ (II / 17)
The 1876 built by Josef Wiedemann as his Opus 100 was originally in the parish church of St. Sebastian in Mürsbach near Rattelsdorf and was rebuilt in the middle of the 20th century by Gebr. Hoffmann. The instrument was replaced in 2003 by today's Weißhaupt organ. When it was re-erected in the “Klingendes Depot”, one part of the housing was restored in color and one left white. It is used to demonstrate the functional principle of the fully mechanical sliding drawer .

Bittner organ II / 17 (Berching)
The console of the Bittner organ
The Bittner organ was originally located in the parish church of the Assumption of Mary in Berching and was replaced in 1996 by today's Sandtner organ. The organ works are now ready to play in the "Sounding Depot". However, the baroque case from 1758 remained in Berching and now houses the new Sandtner organ, so that the Bittner organ was installed without a case, which is very useful for demonstrating the functional principle of the fully mechanical cone chest.

The Weise organ was built in 1923 for the parish church of St. Petrus in Bubach (Lower Bavaria) and replaced by a new organ in 2006. Today it is ready to play in the "Klingendes Depot" and is used to demonstrate the functional principle of the fully pneumatic membrane drawer. The historical baroque prospectus from 1730 was hung above the organ so that the view of the pipework is free.
