Silbermann-Trampeli organ in the church of St. Kilian Bad Lausick

  • Church
The Silbermann-Trampeli organ only found its current destination, the church of St. Kilian in Bad Lausick, more than 200 years after it was built.
The instrument was built in 1721/22 by Gottfried Silbermann for the Johanniskirche Chemnitz as a single-manual organ with pedal. In 1792, Johann Gottlob Trampeli added a second manual to the instrument as an upper division with 8 stops, giving it its current name. In 1879, the organ was sold to Auligk near Pegau and installed in the village church there. It was not until 1955 that the parish of St. Kilian's Church in Bad Lausick purchased the Silbermann-Trampeli organ, which was installed in 1958 following restoration by master organ builder Hermann Lahmann from Leipzig. In the course of the installation, the specification was reconstructed, a pedal coupler (Hauptwerk to pedal) was installed and the pedal was extended by the addition of a small pedal chest with Principal - Bass 8', Octave - Bass 4' and Mixtur 4 fach stops. In 1990, the last restoration took place with a return to the original pitch (466 Hz at 15 C°) by lengthening the entire pipework by the company Hermann Eule from Bautzen.
