Owl organ in the town church of St. Wenceslai Wurzen

Orgel
The Eule organ in the town church of St. Wenceslai was built according to a French concept.

The traditional organ building company Hermann Eule Orgelbau GmbH built the organ in 1999 as Opus 626. It is located in the north gallery of the choir room, which was partitioned off as a winter church in 1981. II/18 + 5 transmissions. On the west side of the partitioned nave is the now unplayable but almost original Jehmlich Bros. organ from 1901. II/40. A general overhaul of this organ is planned for the distant future. The Eule organ is designed according to the sound concept of an 18th century French organ. The third manual functions as a coupling manual. In addition to the independent Trombone 16', the pedal division has four transmission stops from the Hauptwerk.
