Description : The instrument is the largest surviving organ of Carl August Buchholz (1796 – 1884), a prolific Berlin organ builder. It consists of four manual consoles with 63 registers. The Black Church (Biserica neagra, Schwarze Kirche) is a Lutheran church in the heart of Transylvania (today Romania). Transylvania had German colonists since the 12th century, and there has been an uninterrupted German Lutheran tradition since the beginning of Lutheranism in Europe. Brasov is the center of this church organ. The church is famous for its unique collection of historical Turkish carpets, which hang all over the walls and throughout – and they also undoubtedly contribute to the acoustics of the Gothic building. The organ is the largest mechanical instrument in Romania. The importance of the instrument is emphasized by frequent concerts: from spring to autumn, three organ concerts are held every week.
