The St. Stephanus Church in Egestorf, a stone church built in the 17th century, received its first organ more than 200 years after its construction. This organ, created by Philipp Furtwängler & Söhne in 1867, is a representative example of romantic organ building. Remarkably, much of the organ, including its complete mechanical system, has been preserved in its original state, with only a few registers reconstructed during a restoration in 1998.

The organ was restored twice — first in 1972 by Gebr. Hillebrand and then in 1998 by Franz Rietzsch — keeping the instrument in excellent condition. It features 17 registers spread across two manuals and a pedal. The organ remains an essential part of the church's musical life and can be heard on the NOMINE-CD "Orgellandschaften."
