To be able to realise the project in the Marienkirche Kaiserslautern is a very special honour for us. The commitment and heart and soul that the congregation and the organ association have invested in the project was also an incentive for us to strive for the extraordinary in our design.

Very exciting for us was the challenge of creating a context in the organ for a donor who was not named to us at the time of the tender. We only knew that the donor had a connection to glass and light.

This resulted in a design in which the element of glass, which changes continuously due to the natural light reflections in the room, plays a significant role. After many months of discussing, developing and refining the design with those responsible for the project, we are now proud and full of anticipation to be able to build this extraordinary instrument.
