The organ of the monastery church of Riddagshausen near Braunschweig is a distinguished instrument built in 1979 by the Alfred Führer organ workshop in the neo-baroque style. Modeled closely after the church’s original organ from around 1619 by Heinrich Compenius the Younger, the modern organ features 31 stops across three manuals and pedal. Both the stoplist and pipe scaling remain faithful to the historical design, yet the organ also accommodates a broad repertoire, including romantic and contemporary works, thanks to its warm foundational tones and expressive reeds.

The instrument’s rich, resonant sound fills the large monastic space beautifully, making it a centerpiece for both worship and concert use. Regular organ concerts with international performers have earned the organ a strong reputation beyond Germany’s borders, highlighting its exceptional tonal quality and versatility.
