(PR | Symbolbild) The Marien organ in Cologne Cathedral urgently needs to be renewed. Despite the great importance of music at Cologne Cathedral, there is unfortunately often a lack of financial means for cultural purposes, according to the cathedral provost.

The Kulturstiftung Kölner Dom would like to support the cathedral with the help of a donation campaign. The current instrument, which accompanies around 45 church services week after week, has lost a lot of technical and sonic quality over the years, according to the foundation. These defects cannot be remedied with mere repairs. Around € 220,000 is missing for the new construction of the Marienorgan. Those interested can visit the website marienorgel-koelnerdom.de provide more information about the project. Depending on the size, texture and complexity, a range of between € 3,000 and € 23,000 is required per register, i.e. per row of pipes of the same timbre. The donors can choose according to their personal interests on the website, register the ones they like best and which one they want to spend on. There is the option of spending the amount for an entire register or a free amount of your choice. If one register is sufficient, no more donations can be made for this register.
