The organ at St. Severi Church in Otterndorf has a rich history dating back to 1553 when it was first built by Matthias Mahn from Buxtehude. Over the centuries, the organ underwent several reconstructions and restorations, including a significant rebuild by the renowned organ builder Dietrich Christoph Gloger in 1741/42. Gloger's organ, featuring 46 registers across three manuals and pedal, became the largest Baroque organ between the Elbe and Weser rivers and remains a key piece of the region's musical heritage.
In the 19th and 20th centuries, the organ saw several modifications, including the replacement of older registers with more modern ones and the removal of its original tin pipes during World War I. A major overhaul in 1936 by the firm E. Hammer further altered the instrument, leaving only 21 of the original 48 registers intact. Despite these changes, the organ retains much of its historical character. In 2013, a crucial cleaning and repair were undertaken to preserve its historic elements and improve its sound quality, ensuring the organ remains playable until a comprehensive restoration can be completed.
