“Silbermann in Meran” is a cultural project of the Lutheran Congregation of Meran, focused on a new organ, which will be installed in the front part of our church.
In terms of both tonal characteristics and technical construction, the instrument will be inspired by the work of the legendary Saxon organ builder Gottfried Silbermann and his brilliant pupil, Zacharias Hildebrandt.

Not only will it be the first and only organ of this kind in South-Tyrol, but it also represents the first new organ project since about 30 years in Meran – a town that has always enjoyed a broad audience.

The instrument is intended to be used in several different settings:

– During our Church services, which are open to everyone, regardless of one’s religious confession.

– For Educational purpose, through collaborations with music schools and summer courses.

– For Concerts, serving both as a solo instrument and for accompanying soloists, choirs and orchestras.

The project was approved by the general meeting of the congregation on June 14, 2025, but it will be a long process and much still needs to be done: the Community is relatively small, the financial effort is significant, and the architectural integration of the instrument represents yet another challenge.

Therefore we thank in advance anyone, who is willing to support us in this endeavor!
