Kreutzbach organ in the Pegau town church of St. Laurentius

Urban Kreutzbach (1796 - 1868), a student of Carl Gottlob Häcker, founded his own workshop in Borna in 1828. His sons and grandson continued the company until 1903. During this period, over 200 organs were built. The organ for the town church of St. Laurentius in Pegau, built by Urban Kreutzbach in 1855, is his largest work with 35 registers. During the church renovation in 1934, the organ was given a free-pipe facade, which no longer shows any visual reference to Kreutzbach's organ facades. The mechanical system of the action was retained in this redesign. In 2000, the organ was repaired by the Bochmann, Kohren - Sahlis company. With a comprehensive renovation in 2021/22 by the organ building company Peiter, the organ facade has now been returned: The original Kreutzbach facade from 1855 was reconstructed and rebuilt, so that the Pegau organ is not only the largest surviving work by Urban Kreutzbach in terms of pipe technology, but also visually. Six registers were also returned or changed.
