10 Die Orgel stand auf der einen Seite der Altarempore. Sie war in ein weißgoldenes Gehäuse eingebaut. Das Schnitzwerk seines Gesimses stellte kleine, pausbäckige Engelchen dar, die zwischen allerhand Schnörkeln, wie in einem Irrgarten gefangen saßen. The pipe organ stood on the one side of the altar choir. It was built into a white-golden case. The carving of its moulding depicted small, chubby-faced little angels, which sat between all sorts of embellishments, like trapped in a maze.
