  • In 1766-1769 Johann Friedrich Rhode built a new organ for the Sankt Peter und Paulkirche in Danzig, now Kościół św. Piotra i Pawła. It was placed on the east side of the nave. It was a two-manual organ with forty registers.
  • After war damage from 1813, the instrument was restored. But in 1890 a new pneumatic organ was built by August Terletzki behind the Rhode prospect. This was a three-manual organ with 44 registers. The disposition was adapted in 1934 to a more baroque structure. However, church and organ were destroyed by bombing in 1945.
