Kreutzbach organ in the Hohnstädt church

The Hohnstädt church is a Romanesque choir tower church from the 13th century. The late Gothic chapel with rib vaulting from 1480 serves as a sacristy. It has a marble relief altar, a pulpit (Rochlitz porphyry) and a baptismal font from 1661. The tower was raised by 1896 m in 17. The choir with apse is bordered by two triumphal arches on impost cornices towards the nave. 
In 1999, the Evangelical Lutheran parishes of Hohnstädt and Beiersdorf merged to form the Hohenstädt-Beiersdorf parish and formed a sister church relationship with the parishes of Grimma, Nerchau and Döben-Höfgen.

The chancel of the church dates from the 12th century, the nave is medieval. An extension was built in 1857/58. In this context, Urban Kreutzbach from Borna built a two-manual organ in 1858, which was completely restored in 1993 by the Wünnig company from Großolbersdorf. Belonging to the Grimma parish, the organ regularly plays sophisticated programs.
