  • In 1906 an organ was placed in the chapel of the Justizvollzugsanstalt II in Hamburg-Nord by Paul Rother. It is assumed that it was not a new organ, but was built some years earlier for another church hall or chapel. In 1992 the instrument was restored by Heinz Hoffmann.
  • In 2007 the organ was sold to the Evangelische Gemeinde in Franzburg. It was restored and relocated by Johann-Gottfried Schmidt. The voicing has been completely revised for the new location.
