This organ was built by A.G.Casparini in the years 1752 - 1763. The organ had 65 stops, 3 manuals and free pedals. It was the largest organ of this Casparini. However, the medieval church in which it was built was torn down in the years 1824-1827.
The organ was dismantled and carefully preserved (KÖNIGSBERGER CORRESPONDENT 1828: 344-345) and rebuilt in Schinkels church in 1847-1848 (LANGHANS (1852: 133-134) by Johann Scherweit (RENKEWITZ, JANCA & FISCHER 2008: 403).
In 1895, the organ was dismantled and replaced by a new organ by Max Terletzki, Elbing. BOETTICHER (1897: 186) mentions that parts of the Rococo-case came to the Gewerbe-Museum in Königsberg in 1895.
