1963 Hans-Detlef Kleuker  new organ
1996 Lothar E. Banzhaf  restoration and enlargement

  • The Marienkirche in Husum was built in the years 1829-1833 to a design by Christian Frederik Hansen. The Kleuker company built a three-manual organ for the church in 1963. Consultant was Friedrich Bihn. The organ was located on a large balcony with a large distance between the positive and the main case. The Brustwerk was fitted with doors. In 1996 Lothar Banzhaf overhauled the organ. He replaced the Oktav-Cornett 2 fach (2'+1') on the pedal with a Gedeckt 8' and expanded the organ with an Echowerk in a swell box. This work does not have its own keyboard.
  • The organ was replaced in 2021 by a completely new organ by Klais Orgelbau. It was disassembled in 2019 and sold to an organ maker in Warsaw.
