1700 Hinrich Clausing  new organ
1956 Emanuel Kemper & Sohn  restoration
1979 Gebrüder Stockmann Orgelbau  restoration
2006 Hermann Hillebrand  reconstruction

  • The organ of the Roman Catholic St. Nicholas Church in Rumbeck was built in 1700 according to a inscription in the front. On the basis of various characteristics, Hinrich Clausing is generally seen as the builder of the instrument. It originally had one manual. In the nineteenth century it was expanded with a second manual and a free pedal. The original keyboard on the front has been moved to the side. In 1956, the Kemper company restored the organ, which was in an unplayable condition. It was overhauled by the Stockmann company in 1978/79.
  • In 2005-2006 the Hillebrand company carried out a major reconstruction. The organ was thereby restored to its original state as far as possible, but with the retention of a small second division and a free pedal, designed in the style of the work of Clausing.
