The cathedral was founded in 1004 by the emperor Henry II, and was consecrated in 1012. During the next two centuries it was burnt down twice.The cathedral first had an organ in 1415. The one that was built in 1868 gave many problems and had to be rebuilt five years later, but it was kept until 1940 because it made a nice sound. The organ that we see in the cathedral today was built in 1976 by the organ builder Rieger.

Great shot of some very impressive pipes! I'll bet the acoustics are good, too.

An impressive and beautiful organ, Frank. Not only the organ pipes got my attention but the 'trumpets' as well. I've seen many organs, but no one like this one.

Whoa, those pipes are high up and even trumpets - wow the sound would be fabulous, it sure would make the church rumble

Given their luck with organs I'm surprised you got this close. A nice angle in the photo and a good capture of the scene, Frank.
