Jehmlich organ in the St. Marien Wurzen Cathedral

The oldest previous instrument in St. Mary's dates back to 1503. Other instruments of various sizes are documented until 1931/32, when the Gebr. Jehmlich company in Dresden built a new organ with electro-pneumatic control and a mobile console in connection with the historicizing redesign of the interior (III/44). The open-pipe facade corresponds entirely to the concept of the new interior design. From 1998 to 2001/2007, a general overhaul was carried out by the Christian Reinhold company in Bernsdorf. The disposition was partly changed or expanded. The organ currently has 48 registers and 7 transmissions/extracts on three manuals.
