1890 Heinrich Voit & Söhne  new organ
1972 Lotar Hintz  rebuild
2005 Peter Ohlert  restoration

  • The organ of the Evangelische Kirche in Kirkel-Neuhäusel was built in 1890 by Heinrich Voit. It has two manuals and a pedal with sixteen stops. The action is entirely mechanical, the windchests are cone chests. The instrument has been dedicated on October 19, 1890.
  • In 1972 the organ was rebuilt by Lotar Hintz. It was provided with a modern facade, and the stop list - especially of the second manual - has also been radically altered. Consultant was Heinz Göttsche.
  • In 2005 Peter Ohlert restored the instrument. The original disposition was largely restored. However, the Octave remained 2' on the second manual instead of the original Geigenprincipal. The Choralbass of the pedal has been replaced by a Violon 8' in 2007.
