Summary/Abstract: Spent in Elbląg and its neighbourhood from 1711 to 1725 was important and relatively inexperienced in the current literature period for the activity of the Gdańsk organist AndreasHildebrandt workshop. The instruments created in and around Elbląg in this period offered Hildebrandt not only the opportunity to experiment on new tonal and technical concepts but also constituted an important reference, which seems to have contributed to the reputation of the workshop and opened the way for subsequent large orders in Gdańsk. The article contains information about newly built, rebuilt or attributed to Hildebrandt instruments in Elbląg (churches of St. Nicholas’, St. Mary’s and Corpus Christi), Przezmark (church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross), Pasłęk (St. Barthelemew), Skowrony (church of the Assumption of Mary), Jelonki (church of the Sacred Heart).
