The organ of the Hubertusburg Castle Church, consecrated in 1749, was originally built by Tobias Schramm for the Dresden Court Church.

Tobias Schramm (1701 - 1771) is documented as an organ builder in Dresden from 1749. The organ in the Hubertusburg Castle Church, consecrated in 1749, was originally built by him for the Dresden court church. I/10. Unusually for a Catholic church, it stands high above the altar. While the church and organ were spared during the Seven Years' War despite the plundering of the entire castle complex, almost all of the pipes had disappeared after the war in 1947. In 2001, a thorough restoration and reconstruction to the original state was carried out by Hermann Eule Orgelbau, Bautzen. The pitch of a' - 415 Hz corresponds to the pitch of the Saxon court instruments.
