Gerhardt organ in the Kleinliebenau manor church

Friedrich Gerhardt (1826 - 1922) from Kölleda learned organ building from E. S. Hesse in Dachwig near Erfurt. He then worked for Kreutzbach (Borna), Buchholz (Berlin) and Schmidt (Oldenburg), among others. In 1853 he founded his own company in Kölleda. From 1863 to 1894 he had his workshop in Merseburg. The catalog of his works to date includes 48 organs. The organ in Kleinliebenau was built around 1880 using older parts (pedal windchest and two wedge bellows). The contract has not yet been found. In 1918 the stoplist was extended by the stop Gambe 8'. I/6. In 2012, a thorough restoration was carried out by the Joh. Lindner restoration workshop (Radebeul).
