Schnitger organ, Pipe organ in Grasberg Lutheran church, Germany.

The Schnitger organ features twenty-one stops across two manuals and pedal, with fifteen stops maintaining their original design from 1694.

Built for Hamburg's orphanage at Rödingsmarkt, the organ was relocated to Grasberg in 1788 by Georg Wilhelm Wilhelmy for 500 Reichstaler.

Master organists Johann Adam Reincken and Andreas Kneller evaluated and approved the organ upon its completion in the late 17th century.

Regular religious services and musical performances continue to utilize this instrument, which stands one semitone above standard concert pitch.

The organ's facade displays three towers with an elevated center, incorporating mechanical key actions and original stop mechanisms from different periods.
