Schmeisser organ in the Evangelical Church of Wermsdorf

In 1715, the church received its first organ. It was said to have previously been in the Paulinerkirche in Leipzig. It was a small instrument. By 1897, it had been so worm-eaten that it had to be removed.

In 2001, the current organ was completely overhauled by Paul Schmeisser. Many wooden parts had to be replaced. At the same time, two registers were modified to improve the overall sound of the organ. All of the pipes in the facade were newly manufactured. The extensive work was carried out by the Bochmann company from Kohren-Sahlis. The organ has 14 different registers, which are distributed across two manuals and a pedal. The largest pipe measures 2,50 meters and the smallest just a few millimeters.
