Organ of St. Ludgeri in Norden

The organ spans two sections of the building, with the manual division in the choir and the pedal section positioned in the crossing area.

Master organ builder Arp Schnitger constructed this instrument between 1686 and 1688, incorporating ten stops from previous organs by de Mare and Evers.

The organ contains forty-six stops across five divisions with three manuals, making it the second-largest surviving Schnitger organ in Germany.

Regular organ concerts and demonstrations take place throughout the year, allowing visitors to experience the instrument's rich sound in the church setting.

The organ operates on a modified meantone temperament at a pitch of 473 Hz, which sits five-eighths of a tone higher than standard tuning.
