The largest instrument in the Rantzau-Münsterdorf church district with a colorful history:

In 1716-1719, the famous Arp Schnitger began a new construction in the Stadtkirche Itzehoe; after Schnitger's death in 1719, his master journeyman Lambert Daniel Karstens completed the work.

In 1905, the organ was completely rebuilt by the organ building workshop Sauer / Frankfurt a. d. Oder while retaining the facade with existing baroque pipes, which were now silent.

In 1976, the instrument was electrified and expanded to four manuals by the Hamburg firm Grollmann; in 2000, the so-called facade organ was created by organ builder Heinz Hoffmann, in which the historical Schnitger pipes (Principal 16′ and Principal 8′) sound again - two additional Principal registers were designed according to historical measurements.

As the large work, which is no longer convincing in its overall concept according to today's organ-building standards, increasingly shows vulnerabilities, there are considerations for the long-term reconstruction of one of the predecessor instruments.
