1950 Karl Kamp Orgelbau  new organ
1950 Leon Niessen  new organ

  • In 1950 Karl Kamp and Leon Niessen rebuilt the organ of the Hubertuskirche in Gemmenich. Paul Kaeser was the consultant for the work. The organ case dates from the 18th century. On January 28, 1951, the organ was re-dedicated use. Paul Kaeser played the inauguration concert.
  • The information was taken from the concert program of January 28, 1951. However, in volume 7 of the encyclopedia 'Orgues de Wallonie' it is stated that the instrument was inaugurated on December 17, 1950, with a concert by Pierre Froidebise. There are also some differences in the stop list: on the Hauptwerk a Sesquialter for the Principalquinte and a Waldflöte for the Superoctave, and on the Schwellwerk Hohlpfeife in stead of Hohlflöte. Also the contribution of Leon Niessen is not mentioned in this book.
