Photographer’s Note

I already showed you pictures of the Cathedral of Bonn. Please see here and here.

Here I show you the magnificent organ of this outstanding building. This instrument was inaugurated in 1961. In 1980 and 1981 it was renovated and enlarged. It now has 69 registers and 5112 pipes. Its front was carved out of oak wood in the 1960s by the sculptor Manfred Saul. Among the multifaceted carved illustrations and scenes there are even two astronauts and a heart transplantation.
In workshop you can see a wider view.

You can hear this instrument here.
