Gröninger Orgel, Renaissance pipe organ in St. Martini Church, Halberstadt, Germany
The instrument features 59 registers within an Italian-influenced case decorated with ornaments, figures, and stylized musical instruments built by David Beck.
Duke Heinrich Julius of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel commissioned the organ for Gröningen Castle Chapel in 1592, following his appointment as Bishop of Halberstadt.
The organ received extensive testing from 53 organists during its inauguration in August 1596, marking a significant event in German musical craftsmanship.
Frederick the Great gifted the organ to St. Martini Church in 1770, where it remains today as a testament to Renaissance organ construction.
The organ combines three register families - principals, flutes, and reeds - creating a comprehensive collection of Renaissance organ sounds.
