Chest organ moved
In November already, our box organ had to be moved to the “Liefrauenkapelle”. The organ has been bought by the “Friends of organs and Sacred Music”.
In order to achieve the move some strong men were needed who exactly know how and what to do. With the Sprinter bus of the parrish community everything went fine however and no damages of the organ occured.
We know that we are a little bit late reporting about the move. Nevertheless: thanks to the team very much!
