The new organ for the Luther Church in Berlin-Spandau

The large Protestant church was built from 1895 to 1896 according to the plans of Eugen Fritsche as a three-aisled hall church with three bays. As early as the 1970s, the church proved to be too big for the ever-smaller congregation. After all, it took another 20 years until 1994 - 1997 a project according to the plans and under the leadership of the architect Dr. Dieter Ketterer could be realized: in the two rear yokes of the church 9 apartments, spread over 3 levels, were built. Great importance was attached to maintaining the structural space-defining elements of the church interior. Today's church service area is formed by the chancel and the 3rd church yoke.

The draft of the organ prospect comes from the architect Dr. Dieter Ketterer in collaboration with master organ builder Stephan Mayer. It is a stroke of luck when the architect, who has significantly shaped the current appearance of the church, can help design the organ.

The new organ has 2 manuals with a range of 58 notes each and a pedal with a range of 32 notes. The instrument has 28 register plays, which are divided into 27 sounding registers with separate rows of pipes and a trigger.

The disposition goes back to a sound design by Mr. Michael Reichert. It embodies the sound style of the Alsatian organ reform, which was essentially influenced by the great Dr. Albert Schweitzer was coined. The possibility of interpreting “new music” is also taken into account, in particular by installing an electronic wind throttle.
