Church
Built by Urban Kreutzbach as a two-manual mechanical organ, it was rebuilt by Richard Kreutzbach in 1891.
Originally built in 1843-48 by Urban Kreutzbach (1796 - 1868) as a two-manual mechanical organ with 34 stops, Richard Kreutzbach (1839 - 1903) carried out a major rebuild in 1891. II/29 In this context, a new console was built and the mechanical actions were replaced by pneumatic controls. The keyboard ranges were extended to C - f''' and in the pedal from C - d'. However, the Crecendo roll installed in this context was removed again in 1952. In 1928, the organ was redesigned again and fitted with an electric blower. In 1989, a general overhaul was carried out by the company Orgelbau Hermann Eule, Bautzen.
