The instruments of the Luisenkirche
The organ, built in 2024 by the Dutch organ builder Hans Reil, has 31 registers on two manuals and a pedal. Its disposition, inspired by baroque models, was specially developed for the acoustics of the Luisenkirche and enables a versatile repertoire with impressive timbres.
The church also has two historic concert grand pianos: a Bechstein from 1882 and a Blüthner from 1906, which are coordinated with each other. The Blüthner is in the choir on the first floor, which creates a fascinating offstage effect.
Admission: 10€ (8€ reduced)
