In 1851, CG Jehmlich & Söhne built the organ in the St. Aegidienkirche in Oschatz with mechanical action and slider wind chests.

Carl Gottlieb Jehmlich (1786 - 1867) & Sons, Zwickau, built the organ with mechanical action and slider wind chests in 1851, after six previous instruments. II/44. There is evidence of organs in St. Aegidien since 1495. In 1933, the sound and technology were rebuilt and a third manual was added. III/56. A new console with manual ranges from C - a''', pedal range from C - f ' and electro-pneumatic control document the technical state of this era. When renovation work began in the church in 2002, the organ was initially housed and restored from 2003 to 2005 by the organ workshop Christian Scheffler, Sieversdorf, according to the 1933 construction concept.
