The Marienkirche

The Marienkirche (en: St. Mary's) in Lübeck is one of the most important churches in the North German Organ School.

Organs

Both the large and small organs that were historically in the Marienkirche are of vital importance to the Orgelbewegung and the modern historical organ-building movement.

On March 29, 1942–Palm Sunday–both organs were destroyed during WWII bombings.

Totentanz Organ

[1]The first part of the "Small organ" that survived through subsequent renovations until WWII was built in 1475-77 by Johann Stephani. It was a one-manual Blockwerk with indipendent pedal.

In 1558, the Rückpositiv was added by Jakob Scherer, and the Bruskwerk was added by Henning Kroeger in 1621-22.

In 1653-55, Friedrich Stellwagen thoroughly repaired the organ.

Tuning

One point of major interest to musicologists is the tuning of the Totentanz organ. The question of wether or not the organ was tuned into Werckmeister III or a similar equal-like temperament during Buxtehude's lifetime has major implications regarding his compositions[Citation needed].

The disposition of the organ right before 1942 is as follows.[2]
