  • The Heilige-Geist-Kirche in Berlin-Moabit was built in the years 1905-1906 after a design by the architects Dinklage and Paulus. The organ was built by the Walcker firm in 1906, opus 1319. In 1935 Walcker replaced the Violoncello 8' of the Pedal with an Oktave 2' during repair works.
  • Despite war damage, the organ could be kept in use. In 1952 it was repaired by Karl Schuke. Thanks to Karl Schuke's appreciation for the organ, it was preserved unchanged afterwards. However, the pneumatic action was replaced in 1963 by electro-pneumatic, so a new console was also supplied. Michael Mauch carried out a restoration in 2006. He reconstructed the Violoncello, and used the pipes of the Oktave 2' to create a new Flageolet 2' on the Hauptwerk.
