by the iron-foundry in Lauchhammer with four well-known hymn-verses
by Paul Gerhardt on the pedestal; at the forefront the hymn “Befiehl
du deine Wege” and on the rear the peace-hymn “Gottlob,
nun ist erschollen”.
The Paul-Gerhardt Painting
- It was painted in Paul Gerhardt’s lifetime or shortly
after his death. It is the only original-picture of Paul Gerhardt
and was handed over to the Lübben church-community by the
wife of his son Paul Friedrich Gerhardt. Since then, it has its
place in the Lübben church.
The organ
- Since 1666 documents about the organ in the Lübben church
have been existing.
- The present-day sound-character of the organ by the organ master
builder Ludwig Hartig from Züllichau has been kept up since
1846.
- 1906 the Potsdam organ building firm Alexander Schuke rebuilt
the organ using substantial components of the previous organ.
- With the organ restoration 1997, the company Christian Scheffler
from Frankfurt/Oder succeeded in bringing the late-romantic organ-work
to resound.
