The Christuskirche in Bremerhaven houses an organ originally built by the Peternell company from Seligenthal, Thuringia in 1875. This organ was dismantled in 1966, and the church’s gallery was lowered by one meter to better accommodate a new instrument. The new organ, crafted by Gebr. Hillebrand from Altwarmbüchen near Hanover, was inaugurated in 1967. This organ adheres to the North German organ-building tradition and features three manuals and a pedal with 40 registers. The facade is characterized by its richly structured design and the tall prospect pipes of the pedal towers, creating a distinctive visual presence in the church.
In 1997, Alfred Führer from Wilhelmshaven undertook a tonal revision of the organ and added several new stops. Additionally, for liturgical and musical performances, the church also has a chest organ built in 1998 by Klop of Garderen, Holland. This smaller organ has five stops and a transposition capability, providing versatility for various musical needs. The modifications and restorations have ensured that the organ continues to support the church's rich musical tradition effectively.
