Friderici organ in the Ev.-Luth. Katharinenkirche Großdeuben
The Italianized spelling of the name Friedrich has survived in two different variants: Friederici and Friderici. Christian Ernst Friderici (1709 - 1780) is regarded as the most important master of the firm founded by Johannes Friderici (1653 - 1780). In 1737 Christian Ernst Friedrich Friderici was granted citizenship in Gera. He was still working in the spirit of the universal "instrument makers", such as Silbermann and Hildebrandt. From 1740 onwards, he mainly worked on stringed keyboard instruments.
He built the Großdeuben organ in 1754/55 for the church in Cröbern. After Cröbern had to make way for open-cast mining, the organ was moved to Großdeuben in 1972/73 by the organ building company Eule.
Church:
The current baroque hall church was built in 1716 on the same site as an earlier church. In 1888, a sacristy was added, today's "Lutherstube". In connection with the redesign of the church in Art Nouveau style in 1906, an extension was added on the west side. The pulpit altar and the baptismal lectern are part of the 1716 furnishings. A shrine from a late Gothic carved altar is kept in the "Lutherstube". It comes from the former church in Zehmen The numerous epitaphs are partly from the previous building. The current painting corresponds again to the Art Nouveau style of 1906. The Friderici organ from Cröbern from 1754/55 has stood in the west gallery since 1973 I/15
