  • In 1910 a new Stadthalle was built in Görlitz, where a large organ was also installed by the firm Wilhelm Sauer. The fourth keyboard is designed as Fernwerk and the pipes are located above the ceiling. The prospect pipes of the organ are not expressive, but the rest of the organ is entirely in a swell box. However, the third and fourth manual also have their own swell box. The instrument is set up behind the stage.
  • In 1991 the organ was restored by the company Vleugels.
