This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
Updated through online information from John Near. -- The organ was built new in 1967 by Detlef Kleuker Orgelbau. The Kleuker organ never measured up and finally failed mechanically. It was rebuilt in 1984-86 by Robert David (who worked for Rubin Frels) as his Opus 1; it was a complete failure.
Database Manager on September 7th, 2012:
Identified through online information from Dr. John R. Near. -- Rebuild of original Kleuker organ. The original installation followed the then popular neo-baroque style. It was rebuilt, enlarged, and made into a straight mechanical action organ in 1984-86.
