- The organ in the church of Schweikershain must have been built before 1734, according to Felix Friedrich. Ulrich Dähnert, on the other hand, writes "after 1750". The question is whether it was built by Gottfried Silbermann himself or by one of his students.
- In 1923 Alfred Schmeisser replaced the Cimbel register with an Aeoline 8'. In 1956 Hermann Eule moved the organ from the choir gallery to the gallery on the west side of the church. The Cimbel was then also reconstructed. In 1986-1990 the organ was restored by Eule Orgelbau. The organ was tuned in a Neidhardt I temperament.
