Address: Remigiusstraße 9, 66629, Freisen
Description nr.: 2070806.

The organ contains older material: Organ case from 1782 by Gebrüder Stumm
In 1782 the Gebrüder Stumm built an organ for the Sankt Remigiuskirche in Freisen. It was a one-manual organ with fourteen stops. It was restored in 1860, but it was probably preserved in its original state until 1953. In that year the church building was enlarged, and a larger organ was needed. This was built in 1954 by Haerpfer-Erman. Stumm's organ case has been re-used and was widened on both sides. The new organ has two manuals and a pedal with 25 registers. The action is electro-pneumatic and the windchests are cone chests. Hugo Mayer carried out an overhaul in 1985. The Trompete and Krummhorn have also been renewed. In 2012, the organ was renovated by Hugo Mayer.
