Pipe organ of St. Kilian's Cathedral

The central pipe organ in St. Kilian's Cathedral spans multiple levels of the interior space with its arrangement of numerous musical pipes and components.

The Klais company constructed and installed this musical instrument in 1969 during the cathedral's restoration period following the destruction of World War II.

This instrument serves as the main musical centerpiece for religious ceremonies, concerts, and community gatherings in the fourth largest Romanesque church of Germany.

The cathedral maintains specific visiting hours for those interested in viewing the organ, with regular musical performances scheduled throughout the religious calendar.

The organ incorporates elements from both Klais and Steinmeyer manufacturing traditions, creating specific sound characteristics within the cathedral's acoustic environment.
