Gottfried Silbermann (1683 - 1753) had already built a two-manual organ in St. George's Church in Rötha in 1721. Three days after the organ was consecrated, Baron von Friesen commissioned Silbermann to build a new organ for St. Mary's Church. Originally agreed to have no independent pedal register and only 9 registers, Silbermann expanded the disposition to include a sub-bass 16' and a third 1 3/5'. The consecration took place in 1724. In 1942, the organ was removed due to severe structural damage to the church and stored in St. George's Church. Since 1958, the organ has been back in the renovated St. Mary's Church. In 2005, a thorough restoration was carried out by the organ builder Ekkehard Groß.
