  • In 1962 Emil Hammer built a two-manual organ with 31 stops for the Anstaltskirche of the Stephansstift in Hannover-Kleefeld. Consultant was cantor-organist Adolf Sörensen.
  • The organ was dismantled by Amadeus Junker in 1996 and replaced by a new one. He rebuilt the Hammer organ in a new case and with a new wooden action for the Markuskirche in Fürth im Ostertal. The former Oberwerk was placed as Rückpositiv. Kurt Koch carved some sculptures for the organ case. Some minor alterations in the disposition have been made. On the Hauptwerk, the Nasat was extended to a Sesquialter, but the Nasat can still be selected by pulling the register puller halfway. On the Rückpositiv the Oktavzimbel 2 fach has been changed into a Rohrnasat 2 2/3'.
