Jehmlich organ in St. Matthäi Church Leisnig

Church
The Jehmlich organ was built in 1862 by the royal court organ builder Carld Eduard Jehmlich from Dresden as his opus 10.
It is a mechanical slider chest organ and has 31 stops spread over 2 manuals and pedal.

From November 2002 to November 2003, it underwent a comprehensive restoration by the Ekkehard Groß organ building workshop, which is based in Waditz near Bautzen.

The original neo-Gothic façade was largely dismantled and redesigned in the 1960s. Today's new façade was designed by the Dresden architect Christian Möller. The remaining historical parts (brown) were combined with modern elements (white).
