Schnitger organ in St. Nicolai et St. Martini

The organ contains multiple rows of metal and wooden pipes that create distinct musical tones through a system of mechanical connections and wind chambers.

Master organ builder Arp Schnitger constructed this instrument during the late 17th century, incorporating traditional northern German design principles and craftsmanship techniques.

The instrument serves both religious ceremonies and musical performances, maintaining its status as a central element of Lutheran church services in northern Germany.

Visitors can attend regular organ concerts throughout the year, with performances scheduled on Sundays and special religious occasions in the church calendar.

The organ maintains its original wooden case and decorative elements, featuring intricate carvings that reflect the architectural style of maritime Germany.
