- On April 27 and 28, 1945, the church building was hit by bombings, as a result of which the organ was lost. The ruin has remained for a long time. In 1970 the rebuilding of the church started, which took more than twenty years in total. A pipe organ was not installed, but in 2020 a second hand instrument from the United Kingdom has been transferred to the church. This organ has been built by William Hill & Son in 1904 for the West Parish Church, Church Street, of Kilbarchan in Scotland. After closure of this church in 2015, the building was sold, and the organ was donated to the concregation in Prenzlau.
- The organ was built for the parish church of Kilbarchan in 1904, The church became the West Parish Church in 1929, after the dedication of a new church, 'East Parish Church'. The original expression pedals of the organ, constructed as trigger pedals, were replaced by balanced pedals at some moment. In 1985 the company Hill & Son overhauled the instrument. At this occasion the Oboe 8' was replaced by a Nazard 2 2/3. In 2015 the church was closed, and the East Parish Church remained as the only parish church. The organ was donated to Prenzlau in 2018.
