There is evidence of organs in Rochlitz churches since the 16th century.
The Schmeisser organ-building company, which has been based in Rochlitz for over one hundred and thirty years, has built, rebuilt or maintained several instruments in four generations. This is also the case in the St. Petri church. It has a two-manual mechanical organ by Paul Schmeisser (1878-1902) from 1894, whose son Alfred Schmeisser completed the three-manual pneumatic organ in the Kunigundenkirche in 1920. Fortunately, both instruments have been thoroughly renovated in recent years.
