Thanks to donations
Joining forces: Rare organ saved!
Great relief in Baumgarten. The historically valuable Rieger organ in the parish of St. Mother Teresa has been saved thanks to a concerted effort.
The "Organ Challenge" was launched in February. The aim was to find 400 people or families to donate 100 euros each in order to reach the sum of 40,000 euros. The response was overwhelming: instead of the targeted 400 supporters, 430 people ultimately took part. Pastor Pawel Marniak was delighted: "Everyone helped together. The parish community, district politicians, music lovers and many who used to be active in the parish themselves - thank you very much! I am over the moon."
The Rieger company began the extensive renovation work on the Tuesday after Pentecost. The organ was completely dismantled in the parish church on Gruschaplatz in Linzer Straße. Each pipe will be individually cleaned and serviced before the instrument is reassembled piece by piece. There will also be a thank-you concert.
