Kreutzbach organ in the Auenkirche Markkleeberg-Ost

Urban Kreutzbach (1796–1868), a student of Carl Gottlob Häcker, founded his own workshop in Borna in 1828. His sons and grandson continued the business until 1903. During this period, over 200 organs were built. Urban Kreutzbach originally built the organ now located in the Auenkirche (Church of the Meadows) for St. Martin's Church in Elstertrebnitz. After the Elstertrebnitz church was abandoned, the organ, following a fundamental overhaul by the Bochmann company of Kohren-Sahlis, found its new home in the Auenkirche in 1999/2000. A new organ had previously been built on the same site by Christian Ernst Friederici (1709–1780) in 1749 and Alfred Schmeisser (1878–1908).
