Rühlmann organ in the town church of St. Nikolai Bad Düben

The organ building workshop founded by Friedrich Rühlmann (1812 - 1878) in Zörbig existed through the generations of his sons Wilhelm Rühlmann I (1842 - 1922) and Theodor Rühlmann II (1847 - 1910) and Wilhelm Rühlmann II (1882 - 1964), son of Wilhelm Rühlmann I, until 1945. The Bad Düben organ is one of around 300 instruments built by the "Orgelbau-Anstalt W.Rühlmann". Wilhelm Rühlmann I built his organ in 1907 behind the case of the predecessor organ by Johann Carl Friedrich Lochmann from 1819 as Opus 294. III/30. The instrument is played via pneumatic cone chests. A  thorough restoration was carried out in 2008.
