The organ was constructed by Gustav Steinmann, Vlotho. It was a new construction that supplemented and transformed the existing substance according to the plans of Frank-Harald Greß from Dresden, aiming to recreate the condition of the organ in 1749. The main and Rückpositiv case were reconstructed in 1965-1966.

The oldest information about the organ in St. Martini dates back to 1530. In 1591, a new organ was built by an unknown organ builder. The case of the Rückpositiv and some pipes remain preserved to this day. In 1749, a major remodeling was done by Johann Joseph Mencke from Osnabrück. Parts of the main case and pipe work were preserved.

In 1891, a time-typical remodeling was done by the company Furtwängler & Hammer from Hanover, significantly altering the casing. In 1946, another remodeling was carried out by Emil Hammer, Hannover, in the style of the neo-baroque. The casing was restored to its original form in 1966 by Steinmann, Vlotho. All registers originating from the Renaissance and Baroque periods were preserved.

In 1990, Franz Rietzsch from Hemmingen retuned the organ. In 2006, two more pedal registers were added.

In 1747, a baroque-style main work was created by organ builder Mencke from Beckum.

Additionals: I/II, III/II, I/P, II/P, Tremulants for RP and BW.
