Description nr.: 2010159.
Built by: Johannes Mayer (1750)
The organ of the Evangelical Church in Roth (Eschenburg) dates from 1750. It was built by Johannes Mayer from Worms for the Burgkirche in Friedberg. In 1849 the organ was transferred to Roth by Johann Georg Förster, who built a new organ in Friedberg. The short octave (compass CD-c''') was removed by adding C sharp major. In 1917 the prospect pipes were removed as war metal. In 1930 the Tertia was replaced by an Aeoline. Furthermore, the organ has been preserved without modifications. In 1970, Hermann Hillebrand carried out a restoration, in which the Tertia was reconstructed and the prospect pipes were replaced by ones in pewter. A new restoration was carried out by Günter Hardt in 2019.
