Great organ of St.-Marien-Kirche, Baroque pipe organ in St. Mary's Church, Stralsund, Germany.

The Great Organ of St. Mary's Church is a Baroque pipe organ with multiple manual keyboards and many pipes arranged throughout the church space. The instrument was built in place and takes up a substantial portion of the nave with its size and proportions.

Construction of the instrument began in 1659, reflecting the importance the city of Stralsund placed on church music. Its completion marked a significant moment for community life and the region's musical infrastructure.

The organ draws musicians from across the region to perform concerts that have become an important part of community life. These performances connect the church to the wider musical world.

The organ sounds during religious services and is also used for concert performances held throughout the year. Visitors should check service times or concert dates to hear the instrument in action.

The sound of the instrument is shaped by the special proportions and arrangement of its pipes in relation to the church's acoustics. This specific tonal character becomes apparent with each visit and performance.
