1907 Furtwängler & Hammer  new organ
1948 Karl Fuchs  restoration

  • The Passions-Kirche in Berlin-Kreuzberg was built in the years 1905-1907 to a design by the architect Astfalck. The building was inaugurated on January 2, 1908. The church's original organ was built in 1907 by the firm Furtwängler & Hammer. It was a gift to the congregation from Mrs. Habel.
  • Around 1925 the disposition of the pedal was expanded with a Harmonikabaß 16' and an Oktave 4'. The church was damaged during the Second World War, but was largely spared. In the years 1945-1948 the building was restored. The organ was also repaired by Karl Fuchs. However, because the instrument was no longer popular, it was demolished in October 1957. It has been replaced by a new organ by Karl Schuke.
