1979 Siegfried Sauer  new organ
2005 Siegfried Sauer  restoration and enlargement

  • After the Second World War, the Domkirche in Paderborn was rebuilt. A temporary organ was installed in 1948. This was expanded to 25 stops in 1950 and placed on the high choir. In 1952 Anton Feith rebuilt the instrument, which now had 42 stops. In 1979, Siegfried Sauer built a new organ on the same location. Much of the pipework was taken over from the previous instrument, as was Feith's console from 1952.
  • In 2005 the organ was overhauled by Siegfried Sauer. The disposition was modified. The Positiv was expanded with a Trichterdulzian from the main organ. The Schwellwerk received two stops from the Krypta organ, namely an Oboe and a Vox Humana. Finally, a new Hochdruckwerk with two stops has been installed as the fourth keyboard.
