The organ at St. Johannes der Täufer in Dannenberg, built by the Berlin organ-building workshop Karl Schuke between 1968 and 1974, features 29 registers across two manuals and a pedal. This instrument integrates a historic organ case from Wilhelm Heinrich Baethmann, dating back to 1801/1802, giving the organ a blend of modern mechanics and historical aesthetics.

In 1998/1999, the organ underwent a general cleaning and reconfiguration by the Rietzsch company. This included changes in its disposition, such as replacing the Cymbel with a Gambe 8’ in the Oberwerk and substituting the Quintadena 16’ with a Bordun 16’. Additionally, the entire organ was re-intoned to enhance its fundamental tones and overall sound richness, ensuring it meets contemporary performance standards while maintaining its historical charm.
