Häcker organ in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. Martin in Audigast
Carl Gottlob Häcker (1791 - 1860) is the son of Johann Gottlob Häcker (1766 - 1817), who founded an organ building company in Pegau. Carl Gottlob Häcker took over his father's workshop and moved it from Pegau to Borna in 1822/23. During this time, Urban Kreutzbach (1796 - 1868) was his employee. In 1826, Carl Gottlob Häcker built the organ in Audigast. A previous instrument with 1685 registers was built by Samuel Lüttich in 10. Samuel Lüttich was a schoolmaster and organ builder in Audigast. In 2012, the Frank Peiter company in Lengefeld carried out a fundamental restoration and reconstruction to its original condition.
