Schuster organ in the town church of St. Marien

After the Reformation, Master Blasius of Bautzen built a new organ in 1533. In addition to organ repairs and extensions, new organs are built about every 100 years: in 1592 by Hans Lange from Kamenz, in 1698 by the court organ maker Andreas Tamitius from Dresden, in 1795 by Joh. Flemming from Torgau, in 1872 by Conrad Geißler from Eilenburg (extended in 1928 by a Rückpositiv by Furtwängler &  Hammer, Hanover) and finally in 1984 by the organ building company Schuster from Zittau.

The present organ has been installed in the northern side aisle in order to make the round window in the west front visible again. The Schuster organ has 40 stops, which are distributed among the three manual movements and the pedal movement. This means that the organ has 2678 pipes. The Spanish trumpets, which as horizontal stops radiate a particularly strong sound into the room, are striking. The warm fundamental tone of the headmaster stops allows a particularly good development of the overtones of the mixtures and the aliquot stops (fifths and thirds), so that the listener experiences an overwhelming sound experience in the great acoustics of the church.
