The Protestant Frauenkirche once had an important Silbermann organ, which, however, had undergone several major changes and whose remains were completely destroyed along with the church during the devastating night of bombing on 13/14 February 1945. During the faithful reconstruction of the Frauenkirche, the question arose as to whether the Silbermann organ had to be reconstructed just as faithfully. It was decided against an exact reconstruction in Silbermann’s style, but limited itself to a restoration of the organ prospect and commissioned the French organ building company Daniel Kern (Strasbourg) with the construction of a modern universal 67-stop organ, which was inaugurated in 2005. The disposition of the Hauptwerk (I), Oberwerk (II) and Brustwerk (IV) was partly inspired by Silbermann dispositions without copying them exactly, while the Schwellwerk (III) is clearly influenced by the French Symphonic style.
