2009 Friedrich Goll Orgelbau AG  new organ in old case

  • After the rebuilding of the Marktkirche in Hanover, the company's Von Beckerath and Hammer built a large new organ in 1954/1955. The prospect was designed by Dieter Oesterlen, architect of the rebuilding. It is completely asymmetrical. Construction consultants were Rudolf Utermöhlen and Erich Thienhaus.
  • The construction of the action was very complicated, which led to all kinds of malfunctions. In 1970 Richard Rensch started with a conversion, advised by Manfred Brandstetter. The Oberwerk was placed in a swell box, the Brustwerk fitted with doors and the Hauptwerk expanded with a Bombardewerk. The Pedal was also arranged differently and the stop list was modified. The works were completed in 1972.
  • In 2004, it was decided to have a new organ built in the 1955 cases. These cases are listed buildings and may not be removed. The assignment went to the firm Goll, who built a four-manual organ with 64 stops. About half of the pipework is taken from the old organ. It was put back into service on May 31, 2009.
