Geißler organ in the mountain church Eilenburg

After his apprenticeship and assistantship with Weinecke, Ladegast, Mende and Walcker, Conrad Geißler (1825 - 1897) ran his own workshop in Eilenburg from 1852 to 1897. In 1864 he built the organ for St. Mary's Church, also known as the Bergkirche, as Opus 27. II/22. With mechanical action and slider wind chests, the organ was given a swell organ. Between 1975 and 1999 the organ was unplayable. In 2000 it was completely overhauled by the company Mitteldeutscher Orgelbau A. Voigt GmbH.
