2021 Jehmlich Orgelbau  restoration

  • In the Frauenkirche in Meißen there is a three-manual organ by Jehmlich from 1929-1930, which was modified in 1937 by the same company. The organ still contains some pipework from the church's previous instruments. Because the organ was in poor condition, there were plans for a new instrument. Ultimately, it was decided to restore the Jehmlich organ. This was carried out by the company Jehmlich in the years 2017-2021. The organ was put back into use in May 2021.
  • There are plans to have a porcelain register made, which will be placed as a positive in the balustrade.
