Reorganisation of the Stahlhuth organ (1941)
The Stahlhuth organ was built in 1941 during World War II by the Aachen workshop Stahlhuth. Its stoplist was developed by the famous Cologne organ searcher Mr. Hans Klotz, and so it belongs to only few still existing pipe organs from that time and that stylistic period. The instrument possesses a very characteristic sound and is affected by very vital and stable foundation stops.
On the occasion of reconstruction works of the church in 1964, some stops were rearranged and the instrument got a new console, also built by Stahlhuth.
For us it was important to find a way to maintain the special features of the organ. However, the organ was too narrow inside and the front of the main organ case was too low. Additionally, we wanted to complete the sound palette of the instrument by adding or renewing some stops.
So the works can be paraphrased with "reorganisation" better than with "restoration": maintaining what was successful, and at the same time having the courage to correct mistakes and to add legitimate requests on the instrument. But also after completion, it is still the Stahlhuth organ of 1941.
Meanwhile the organ façade is higher, but the colours are still the ones of 1964. At the same time we have moved forward the organ case by 30 cm and so created more space inside the organ which enabled us to newly arrange the crooked-standing windchests and to gain space for a big Swell in which now the dynamic of the stops of the Oberwerk can be modified.
