Renovation und Enlargement of the W. Peter organ (1957) | III/35 | 2023-25

The Lutheran Friedenskirche in Bonn's Kessenich district was consecrated in 1955. In 1957, the W. Peter (Cologne) company built an organ in the gallery of the modern main building that reflected the taste of the time in terms of sound and appearance. The three-manual instrument had slider chests with a combined action.

From 2023 to 2025 we will undertake a comprehensive renovation as part of the "Friedensorgel" project, as well as a tonal enlargement. In the first construction phase, the mechanical action will be dismantled and replaced by an electric action with pallet magnets and ‘contact-free’ key contacts. The mechanical action had proved inadequate for structural reasons, and, despite a re-working, did not remain consistently playable, especially when coupled. The entire electrical system and the console will be overhauled or replaced in parts. At the same time, the order of the manuals will be changed.

Further renovation work on the pipework and the wind chests is planned for a second construction phase. The wind supply also requires sustainable stabilization. The swell box is to be completely renewed in larger dimensions. Here 4 new registers are to be added on a separate chest, which will expand the tonal possibilities of the instrument. The final regulation will largely preserve the character of the sound. Only in the Pedal are four stops to have the voicing revised (Sub-bass, Gedackt, Choralbaß and Posaune).
