Built by: Ladegast & Sohn (1853) - opus 11


In 1853, Friedrich Ladegast built a small organ with four stops and attached pedal for the Johannis-Freimaurer-Loge in Weißenfels, with the name "Zu den drei weißen Felsen". The organ was donated on the occasion of the king's birthday by a number of brothers from the lodge. The organ does not have a real prospect, but it does have two doors that can be closed. The Jeski family from Orlamünde bought the organ between 1920 and 1930 and installed it in their house as a home organ. Around 1960 it was placed in the Friedhofskapelle by the Evangelische Kirche in Orlamünde.
