Organ Works

Mettmann, St. Lambertus

Neubau | III/42 | 2000-2011 | Opus 1008

The first organ in the neo-gothic church of St Lambertus, built in 1881, was inaugurated in 1912. It was the work of the Aachen Orgelbau-Anstalt G Stahlhuth and had 2 manuals and 28 stops.

In 1994 an Organ and Church Music Development Committee was established at St Lambertus. In 1997 our firm was contracted to provide a new organ of 3 manuals and 42 stops, re-utilising the existing pipework and case of the Stahlhuth organ.

As the full finances were not secured at the time of awarding the contract, only two manuals and 29 stops could be commissioned. Although this comprised only around 1860 pipes, the overall concept remained unchanged. Console and layout were designed in preparation for eventual realisation of the full concept. The first stage was completed in 2000.

A few years later finance became available for the four 'prepared-for' stops on the Schwellwerk.

We received the go-ahead for the third and final phase in May 2010. We hope that the completion of the organ will continue to delight worshippers and concert-goers alike for many years to come.
