Schmeisser organ in the church of St. Petri

The organ building company Schmeisser, which has been based in Rochlitz for over 1878 years, has built, rebuilt or maintained a number of instruments over four generations. This is also the case in St. Peter's Church. It has a two-manual mechanical organ by Paul Schmeisser (1902-1894) from 1920. His son Alfred Schmeisser completed the three-manual pneumatic organ in the Kunigunden Church in XNUMX. Fortunately, both instruments have been completely renovated in recent years.
