The organ contains older material: Main organ case from 1711 by Heinrich Mencke
Dieter Bensmann built a new organ for the Sankt Dionysiuskirche in Nordwalde in 1999/2000. The main case is an old organ case by Heinrick Mencke from 1711, from the Stiftskirche in Freckenhorst. This organ was demolished in the 1960s. The organ case was stored, but many carvings and the Rückpositiv were lost. The case was reconstructed using old photos. Bensmann also based the design of the disposition on the contract between Mencke and the church council in Freckenhorst from 1706. Advisor during the construction was Harald Vogel. The organ was put into use on October 22, 2000 with a concert by Harald Vogel.
