NL Van bron
Het indrukwekkende Strümphler-orgel wordt ‘pas’ sinds 1962 bespeeld in de Eusebius. Zijn voorganger het Wagner-orgel, gebouwd in 1769-1770, was nog imposanter. Het besloeg de volle hoogte van het kerkschip en was rijk gedecoreerd met houtsnijwerk. De dubbele adelaar uit het stadswapen van Arnhem was erin terug te vinden. Helaas ging het Wagner-orgel tijdens de Slag om Arnhem in 1944 in vlammen op.

Het Strümphler-orgel is in 1951 aangekocht voor het herstel van de Eusebiuskerk. Het orgel stond in de Lutherse kerk aan de Kloveniersburgwal in Amsterdam. Orgelbouwer Johannes Stephanus Strümphler bouwde het orgel in 1795 voor deze kerk. Het is bekend als voorbeeld van Duits-Hollandse barokke orgelbouw en om zijn grote klankbereik.
ENG From source
The impressive Strümphler organ has only been played in the Eusebius since 1962. Its predecessor the Wagner organ, built in 1769-1770, was even more imposing. It occupied the full height of the nave and was richly decorated with carvings. The double eagle from the city arms of Arnhem can be found in it. Unfortunately, the Wagner organ went up in flames during the Battle of Arnhem in 1944.

The Strümphler organ was purchased in 1951 for the restoration of the Eusebius Church. The organ was in the Lutheran church on the Kloveniersburgwal in Amsterdam. Organ builder Johannes Stephanus Strümphler built the organ for this church in 1795. It is known as an example of German-Dutch Baroque organ building and for its wide sound range.
