When Friedrich Wilhelm Markull died at the age of seventy-one in 1887, posthumous tributes honored him as a most highly knowledgeable musician and a most highly outstanding organist and composer for the church, school, and salon and of classical orchestral works. Markull made his musical debut as a child prodigy and was appointed to the post of principal organist at St. Marys Church in Danzig (todays Gda 324;sk in Poland). Its organ with three manuals and over fifty stops offered everything that the Northern German romantic musical heart desired. In 1945 St. Marys Church was destroyed along with Danzigs entire city centre. Fortunately, however, the sound typical of early romanticism has been preserved for todays listeners in the lavishly restored Stralsund organ used here (Bucholz Organ (1841) St. Nikolai).
