Description

The Organ Restoration Program "Historic Organs" promotes the professional repair and acoustic restoration of small, historic organs in Hesse and Thuringia. In close cooperation with the State Offices for Monument Preservation, valuable instruments are preserved in their original condition and secured for future use. The aim of the grant is to sustainably ensure the playability of these ecclesiastical cultural assets and to make the region's musical heritage accessible. The Sparkassen Cultural Foundation Hesse-Thuringia supports non-profit organizations in implementing monument-appropriate restorations and strengthening cultural identity.

Eligible for funding are exclusively non-profit organizations, particularly church congregations, that can demonstrate a significant own contribution to the restoration financing. Applications can be submitted continuously, allowing organizations to plan flexibly and access funding promptly. The program is especially aimed at church committees and cultural landscape projects that value monument preservation and wish to secure the future of small organs. Through the combination of expert advice from monument protection authorities and financial support, a strong impetus is created for the preservation of musical treasures in Hesse and Thuringia.
