2010/2011: The organ has been restored by
Hendrik Ahrend.
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)
The organ will go into operation at 28.08.2011 (01
and 03)
