Conrad Geißler built the organ in 1864 for the mountain church in Eilenburg.
After his apprenticeship, Conrad Geißler (1825 - 1897) directed his own workshop at Weinecke, Ladegast, Mende and Walcker from 1852 - 1897 in Eilenburg. In 1864, he built the organ, listed as Opus 27, for the St. Marien Church, also dubbed Mountain Church. II/22 With mechanical action and frictional wind chests, the organ maintains a swell. Between 1975 and 1999, the organ could not be played. In 2000, a general overhaul was undertaken by the company, Mitteldeutscher Orgelbau A. Voigt GmbH.
