- In the years 1707/1708, Arp Schnitger built an organ for the St. Georgenkirche in Hamburg. He took over pipe work from the previous organ, built by Hans Scherer der Jüngere from 1628. The organ was sold in 1747 to the church of Lenzen an der Elbe, where it was put into use on June 18, 1747. However, on September 30, 1751, the tower of this church collapsed, causing very serious damage to the organ. Lucky enough a part of the pipework could be saved. After rebuilding the tower and repairing the church building, Gottlieb Scholtze built a new organ in 1759, using this pipework. The organ has been modified over time, but has largely been preserved in its original state.
- Reinhard Hüfken started the restoration of the organ in January 2006. Under the advice of Dietrich Kollmannsperger and Christoph Lehmann, it was completely brought back to the state of 1759. On September 22, 2007, the organ was put back into use with a concert by Harald Vogel.
