The organ in St. Johannis Church, Neuenkirchen, was built in 1936/1937 by the Göttingen-based organ builder Paul Ott. As a prominent figure in the "Orgelbewegung" (a neobaroque reform movement in organ building), Ott focused on constructing purely mechanical organs, a departure from the pneumatic and electric techniques that had been prevalent in the 19th and early 20th centuries. This organ is one of the earliest examples of newly constructed mechanical organs in Germany during the 20th century.
With its eight registers on a single manual and pedal, the organ in Neuenkirchen is a valuable example of the craftsmanship and philosophy of the Orgelbewegung. It stands as an important historical document, preserving both the technical and tonal characteristics of that period, making it a significant piece of heritage worthy of preservation.
