Schmeisser organ in the Evang. church Wermsdorf

Short facts

In 1898, organ builder Schmeisser (1878-1902) from Rochlitz made a new organ, which is still in service today, after more than 100 years.

In 1715, the church received its first organ. Allegedly, it had previously stood in the Paulinerkirche in Leipzig. It was a small work. In 1897 it was so worm-eaten that it had to be taken down.

In 2001, the present organ was given a general overhaul by Paul Schmeisser. Many wooden parts had to be replaced. At the same time, two stops were rebuilt to improve the overall sound of the organ. All pipes in the facade were newly made. The extensive work was carried out by the company Bochmann from Kohren-Sahlis. The organ has 14 different stops distributed over two manuals and pedal. The largest pipe measures 2.50 metres and the smallest only a few millimetres.
