2010/2011: The organ will be restored by Hendrik Ahrend. The restoration
will probably be finisched in 2011
The Pastor of the church Peter Golon is searching for more information about the
balustrade. This balustrade was present until 1959 and was probably sold. Read his
text with more information about this
balcony. (Text in German)
For collecting money to restorate the organ a foundation "Arp Schnitger Kreis"
has been created:
