Organ Pipes
These organ pipes originally belonged to a monumental organ designed by Wilhelm Carl Friedrich Sauer for the new Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche in 1895. The organ was comprised of 93 stops and 5,726 pipes. The instrument included two glockenspiels, four manual couplers, two pedal couplers, one collective (general) coupler, and six freely programmable combination presets. It was the 660th major work completed by Sauer, which was completely destroyed by an Allied bombing raid on the evening of the 22 November 1943. These three fragments were recovered from the ruins and are all that remain.
