St. Laurentiuskirche zu Wustrow

Church
Even though the entire town of Wustrow fell victim to the flames in 1691, today a beautiful church stands on the former site - the St. Laurentiuskirche zu Wustrow.
Behind the classical organ façade of the previous organ, the organ builder Furtwängler & Hammer, Hanover, built a two-manual organ with 19 stops in 1915. The tone and stop control is pneumatic, as was common at the time. The second manual is located in a swell box. In 1993, the parish had the completely preserved old instrument (fortunately it escaped the neo-baroque aspirations of the organ movement) completely overhauled and repaired by master organ builder Franz Rietzsch, Hiddestorf. Finally, the listed organ case from 1845 (Eduard Meyer) was painted according to the original findings. Since then, the organ has been in perfect technical working order and is one of the pneumatic "showpiece instruments" of the Wendland region.
