The Remonstrant Church found refuge in Schleswig-Holstein in 1620 after being banned in the Netherlands. Thanks to the protection and privileges granted by Friedrich III of Schleswig-Gottorf, including religious freedom, the first church in Friedrichstadt was consecrated in 1625. However, the church building was destroyed during the 1850 war between Schleswig-Holstein and Denmark. It was rebuilt between 1850 and 1854, based on designs by the Schleswig building inspector Johann Friedrich Holm.

The original church had an organ built in 1692, purchased from the Amsterdam organist Willem de Mundt, who also arranged its transportation and installation. Unfortunately, this organ was destroyed along with the church in 1850. Efforts to acquire a new organ began in 1853, involving the organ builder Johann Hinrich Färber, though his initial proposals were not accepted. It wasn't until 1868 that a new organ was commissioned from Färber, with the instrument being completed and accepted in 1869. Over the years, the organ underwent various modifications and maintenance, including significant work by Emil Hansen in 1888 and 1899, as well as by the Marcussen firm during World War I. In 2010-2011, Jehmlich Orgelbau Dresden GmbH restored the organ and reconstructed its original disposition.
