For some reason, the default organization became deleted and now resides in the "trash". This should not happen - but it did though.

When I try to undelete it, I get the following message:

Sorry but we are not able to provide this at the moment.
This contact is a special one for the contact information associated with the CiviCRM installation for this domain. No one is allowed to delete it because the information is used for special system purposes.

I found the error, because the organization moved to a new location, and it was "impossible" to change the address...
After looking around, I discovered the contact in the trashbin, and changed the address there - which solved the actual problem with the wrong results from the domain-address-token.

But, I think we should find a better and lasting solution. Any ideas?

Ah sorry, I did not explain the complete thing:

Currently, the default organisation resides in the Trash. And when I try to "undelete" it, I receive the error message mentioned above.

I could imagine, that it were no good idea to leave this as-is - one time in the future somebody will complete the deletion by accident, or other evil things might happen.

Therefore my question: Is it possible to undelete the contact by patching the "is deleted" field via SQL? How exactly would I have to do that? Or any other idea?

That is what I meant Detlef, that if we can trash/delete the default org a fix should make sure we can not.
and try this:

UPDATE civicrm_contact SET is_deleted = 0 WHERE id = 1
