The Schnitger organ in Norden was completely reconstructed in 1985. Of the 46 registers, 25 have been newly created. Schnitger built the instrument in 1688. He used pipework from the old organ, made by De Mare (1566/1567) and Evers (1616/1618). In 1692 Schnitger expanded the organ with a Bovenwerk, which can be played from the third keyboard, to which the Borstwerk is also connected. Over time the instrument had been adapted to the prevailing fashion and modified several times. In the years 1981-1985 it was completely restored by Jürgen Ahrend and returned to its original state.
