Saint Justin's Church, Frankfurt-Höchst

Justinuspl. 3, 65929 Frankfurt am Main West

Carolingian basilica whose baroque organ case hides a modern concert instrument built inside it in secret.

This guide to Saint Justin's Church in Frankfurt-Höchst opens with the baroque organ case built in 1736 by Mainz organ builder Johann Onimus, and the two centuries of retuning that dulled its original tone by the 1980s. It also visits the altarpiece wings painted in 1608 for the parish priest Adolph Hermann, whose saints have been worn nearly featureless by centuries of damp. Listen for what a Swiss organ-building firm did behind that old casing in 1987.
