- In 1914 Alexander Schuke built a new organ with twenty stops for the Friedrichskirche in Potsdam-Babelsberg (then also called Nowawes). It was placed in the case of the previous organ of the church, an organ with 15 stops, built in 1852 by the Gesell & Schulte firm. In 1953 the organ was modified by Karl and Hans-Joachim Schuke and expanded with two pedal stops.
- In 2020 a plan is made for the construction of a new organ with mechanical slider chests. This organ will have 27 stops, including three transmissions on the pedal.
