- In 1844, Ernst Wilhelm Meyer completed a new two-manual organ with fourteen stops for the church on Helgoland. The specification is unknown, but using information of other Meyer organs and a picture from the thirties of the console, Alex Fischer reconstructed the possible stop list.
- The organ was lost due to bombings on the island in 1945.
