--- title: "Kreutzbach organ in the Pegau town church of St. Laurentius" url: "https://www.leipzig.travel/en/poi/kreutzbach-organ-in-the-pegau-town-church-of-st-laurentius" description: "Urban Kreutzbach (1796 - 1868), a pupil of Carl Gottlob Häcker, founded his own workshop in Borna in 1828. His sons and grandson continued to run the company until 1903. Over 200 organs were built during this period. The organ built by Urban Kreutzbach in 1855 for the town church of St. Laurentius in Pegau is his largest work with 35 stops. When the church was renovated in 1934, the organ was given a free-pipe façade, which visually bears no further resemblance to the organ façades of Kreutzbach. The mechanical action system was retained during this redesign. In 2000, the organ was repaired by the company Bochmann, Kohren - Sahlis. With a comprehensive renovation in 2021/22 by the organ building company Peiter, the organ façade has now been returned: The original Kreutzbach prospectus from 1855 was reconstructed and rebuilt, making the Pegau organ the largest surviving work by Urban Kreutzbach, not only in terms of pipes but also visually. Six stops were also restored or modified.Text: Klaus Gerhardt and Dr. Torsten Reiprich- WC available for visitorsDispositionMain organ (C - e''')1 Principal 16'2 Principal 8'3 Bordun 16''4 Gemshorn 8'5 Viola di Gamba 8'6 Rohrflöte 8'7 Octave 4'8 Spitzflöte 4'9 Gedackt 4'10 Quinte 3'11 Octave 2'12 Sifflöte 1'13 Cornett 4fach ab g 014 Mixtur 4fach15 Trompete 8'Oberwerk (C - e''')16 Principal 8'17 Salicional 8'18 Doppelflöte 8'19 Quintatön 8'20 Octave 4'21 Flauto amabile 4'22 Rohrflöte 4'23 Nasat 3'24 Flautino 2'25 Terz 1 3/5'26 Mixtur 3fachPedal (C - e')27 Untersatz 32'28 Principalbass 16'29 Subbass 16'30 Octavbass 8'31 Violoncello 8'32 Gedacktbass 8'33 Choralbass 4'34 Trumpetbass 8'35 Posaunenbass 16'ManualkoppelPedalkoppel" language: "en" type: "Place" image: "https://dam.destination.one/3909899/fb65239b1976f9886f4dcbef9b094179d647dd3ca050991050d4da2bcce05b0d/.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > Leipzig Travel > Special > Destination.Data Details > Poi" --- Share Kreutzbach organ in the Pegau town church of St. Laurentius =========================================================== - Orgel Blick auf die Kreutzbach-Orgel in der Stadtkirche St. Laurentius Pegau Kreutzbach organ St. Laurentiuskirche Pegau © Dr. Torsten Reiprich.JPG Nave with chancel © Dieter Wadewitz.jpg St. Laurentius Church in Pegau©TVLN.JPG The organ built by Kreutzbach in 1855 for St. Laurentius Church in Pegau, with its 35 stops, is his largest work.
