Info for Die Scherer-Bünting-Orgel zu Mölln

When the new organ was built in Mölln's St. Nicolai Church in 1558, Jacob Scherer took pipes from 1436 from the previous building - probably the oldest known Gothic organ pipes in northern Germany. For her recording on the Scherer-Bünting organ, which was completed in May 2022 after a sensational restoration by the Flentrop company and completed in May 2022, the organist Dagmar Lübking has selected works that document the richness of sound and the extraordinary, almost 600-year history of this unique instrument.

The Scherer-Bünting organ in the St. Nicolai Church in Mölln and its restoration by the Flentrop company is a unique event, not only in northern Germany. With the pipes still preserved in the Mölln organ and the pipes taken from Kappeln an der Schlei, which were not used in the restoration there for stylistic reasons, it is the only surviving organ by Jacob Scherer.

The Scherer family with Jacob Scherer, his son Hans Scherer (the older) and his son Hans (the younger) shaped organ building in Hamburg and the surrounding area in the 16th and first half of the 17th century. Together with Dutch influences, this developed into the North German organ type with the “Hamburger Prospekt”: with Hauptwerk, Rückpositiv and an independent pedal in two towers to the right and left of the Hauptwerk. Due to some strokes of luck in the history of its creation, the Mölln organ now occupies an outstanding position in the North German organ landscape: When the new organ was built in 1558 in the Mölln St. Nicolai Church, Jacob Scherer took over pipes from the previous building from 1436 - probably the oldest known Gothic organ pipes in North Germany. In the 16th century, Hans Köster built a Rückpositiv, and in the 17th century, the Lübeck organ builder Friedrich Stellwagen expanded the main work and pedal and added a chest positive, again using old pipes. A new organ was built in the 18th century by the organ builder Christoph Julius Bünting, giving the instrument a late baroque character with a new case. He also adopted pipes from organ builders of past centuries. After various restorations at the beginning of the 19th century, conversions and renovations in the 19th and 20th centuries by Marcussen, Tolle and Neuthor, consideration of a fundamental restoration began at the beginning of the 21st century - also made urgent by the poor condition of the organ. When asked what condition the organ should be restored to, the decision was quickly made to restore Bünting's late baroque concept. The Flentrop company has now succeeded in an excellent way in producing a synthesis of the past centuries up to the end of the 18th century and still maintaining the independence of the register colors from the different eras, so that the organ is ideal for representing the music of the 16th to 18th century is suitable.
