  • In 1958, the Walcker company built a new organ for the Kirche Zum Heiligen Kreuz in Berlin-Kreuzberg. The organ that stood in the church before World War II, built by Dinse in 1888 and converted by Furtwängler & Hammer in 1911 and by Steinmeyer in 1937, had been lost. The new organ had two manuals and a pedal with 36 registers. In 1965 the still reserved third manual with nine registers was placed.
  • The organ was renovated by Walcker in 1985. But in 2000 the congregation could buy an American organ, and the Walcker organ has been disassembled and put up for sale. It was sold to a monastic community in Poland.
