1744-1747: Johann Dietrich Busch (pupil of Schnitger) builds a new organ with 3 manuals and pedal. The Schnitger organ is sold to Lenzen (Elbe) St. Katharina
church. Busch installed the organ in the church almost unaltered he only added a manual-coupler.
1759: The organ is badly
damaged by
the collapse of the tower of the church. New organ by Gottfried Scholtze. He used parts of the case and the pipework of Schnitger. The organ of
Scholtze is still present in the church and contains material of Schnitger.

2002: On 10.6.2002 I got via Ibo
Ortgies by E-mail the following information from Matthias Schuke from Alexander
Schuke Potsdam Orgelbau GmbH. (The information is in German)
Diese Orgel ist bei uns seit 1929 bekannt.
Diese Orgel stammt aus Hamburg und auch von Schnitger unter Verwendung älteren
Pfeifenwerkes von Scherer. Im 18. Jh. ist das Instrument von Gottlieb Scholtze,
einem Wagner-Schüler instandgesetzt und mit 6 neuen Registern versehen. Die
Orgel hat 30 Register, ...
Im Jahre 1967 ist die Orgel von uns besichtigt und aufgenommen worden, sodaß
wir den gesamten Pfeifenbestand hier schriftlich vorliegen haben. Eigentlich muß
man von einer Scholtze - Orgel sprechen, in der Pfeifenwerk von Scherer und
Schnitger verwendet wurde.
2005-2007: Restoration by Hüfken aus Halberstadt Reconstruction of the
disappeared ranks after historical examples.
