Named for the organist Franz Tunder (1614–1667), founder of the North German school of organ composition. In 1641 he became organist in Lübeck at the Marienkirche, with its beautiful organ that was destroyed in 1945. It was Tunder also who started the famous “Abendmusiken”, which his successor, Dietrich Buxtehude {see planet  (4344)}, continued and raised to further glory. (M 31027) _ _.
