First installed in 1927 in the great hall of the "Hans-Sachs-Haus" (town hall) in Gelsenkirchen, this organ pushed boundaries from the very beginning. With its massive 92 stops on four manuals and the perfectly designed acoustics of the concert hall, this instrument was frequently used for major concerts and organ competitions.
During the Second World War, it was removed from the town hall for protection. In 1949, it was finally reinstalled in its original location and inaugurated with a special series of concerts. During that time, famous organists such as Helmut Walcha, Pierre Cochereau, and Fernando Germani had the opportunity to play this magnificent instrument, often described as a "wonder organ" (Wunderorgel).
In the 1950s, the ceiling of the hall was lowered, which had catastrophic effects on the acoustics. In the 1980s, 12 new stops were added to the instrument.
In the early 2000s, the city of Gelsenkirchen decided to renovate the entire building and remove the historic organ. As a result, a new location for it was searched. In 2019, it was installed in St. Antonius Church in Papenburg by the organ-building company Seifert. The inauguration took place in 2020, and since then, this instrument has been one of the most fascinating organs in northern Germany, frequently hosting concerts.
