  • Stichting Stadsorgel Haarlem "Het Kunkels Orgel" Opgericht 28 Maart 1962
    Stichting Stadsorgel Haarlem "Het Kunkels Orgel" Opgericht 28 maart 1962 Secretariaat: Watennuur 50, 1991 JR VELSERBROEK, telefoon (023)538 5049 Postgiro: 31 35 081 t.n. v. Penningmeester Stichting Kunkels Orge\ Inschrijfnummer Karner van Koophande\: 41223751 The foundation became active in 1956 and was formally established in 1962. Its goal was to repair the huge mechanical concert organ of the Kunkels firm (fairground operators) from Roermond. During the last war this organ suffered extensive damage. This restoration was solely done by volunteers in Haarlem and took about 10 years. On October 5th, 1969, in an old shipyard building beside the recently filled in Werfstraat the finished organ was presented to the public, thus starting the organ museum. Since that day there have been organ recitals each Sunday afternoon as well as additional special events at other times. Over the years, the number of organs on permanent display has increased to 9. On most Sundays there is an extra organ present as a guest. Due to urban renewal the museum in the Werfstraat had to close in December 2003. This lead to the removal to our present building, Kuppersweg 3 in Haarlem (in the industrial estate "Waarderpolder") where we are now continuing our activities. Apart from the Sunday concerts there are often additional recitals on other days and times for pre-arranged visits by groups. Each year, on Whit-Monday, we organise one of the country's biggest street organ festivals (with more than 20 organs taking part) in the Rampart Park near the Haarlem railway station. THE HISTORY OF THE MECHANICAL ORGAN The mechanical organ has a long history.
