  • The Luther-Kirche, Winterthurstraße 7 in Berlin-Reinickendorf was built in 1965-1966 to a design by Peter Poelzig. The church building was dedicated on April 3, 1966. In 1974, Johannes Rohlf completed a two-manual organ with 25 stops for this church, which was inaugurated on June 9, 1974. Jakob Schmidt, architect in Zurich, designed the front and the organ case.
  • In 2005 it was announced that the Lutherkirche had to be closed. The building is in use by the Volksmission entschieder Christen since 2005. The name has been changed to Begegnungskirche. The organ was transferred by the Becker company from Sattenfelde to the Sankt Nikolauskirche in Wittenau. The organ has remained the property of the Evangelische Luthergemeinde. The Hauptwerk could already be heard at the new location by Christmas 2005. The instrument was officially dedicated on March 10, 2006.
