1965 Werner Bosch  new organ
1988 Werner Bosch  enlargement

  • The Lindenkirche in Berlin-Wilmersdorf was built in 1936. The Steinmeyer company installed an organ with 49 stops, which was dismantled and stored in 1943 after the roof of the church collapsed. However, the organ fell prey to firewood collectors and was therefore lost. After the temporary use of a small organ after the restoration of the church building, Werner Bosch completed a new three-manual organ in 1965. The consultant for the construction was Helmut Bornefeld. On September 26, 1965, the organ was dedicated.
  • In 1988 Bosch converted and expanded the organ. A completely new console was installed on this occasion. A new choir organ with two manuals has also been built, which can also be played from the main organ.
