Pipe organ in St Jakobi church, Pipe organ in St Jakobi church, Stralsund, Germany.
The organ in St Jakobi church features a baroque facade from 1741 combined with a new instrument built by Kristian Wegscheider in 2020. It holds around 3700 pipes and stands within a Gothic church dating back to the 14th century.
Christian Gottlieb Richter created the original baroque facade in 1741, which suffered severe damage during armed conflicts, particularly in World War II. The instrument remained silent for decades before being restored and returned to use in 2020.
The organ defines the interior of this Gothic church with its ornate front, becoming the focal point when music fills the space during services and concerts. Visitors experience how craftsmanship and sound combine in this setting.
The organ can be experienced during public concerts and services held within the church. Visitors should check schedules in advance to hear it played, as the best experience comes from hearing it in action.
The baroque case from 1741 was deliberately preserved and combined with modern organ-building techniques based on historical methods. This blend shows how old craftsmanship meets contemporary standards.
