  • In 1868 Friedrich Ladegast built a two-manual organ with 21 stops for the village church in Groß Särchen. In 1917 the front pipes were requisitioned. Hermann Eule later replaced these with new ones made of zinc. In 1929 and 1930 Eule renewed some wooden pipes, which had been affected by woodworm, and in 1930 he also installed a wind motor.
  • In 1943 Eule replaced the Flaute 8' of the Oberwerk with a Cymbel and the Nasard 5 1/3' of the pedal with a Dolce 8'. In 1946 Eule renewed the Mixtur. In the years 1963/1964 Eule carried out another revision. The disposition was altered again. A Gedacktpommer 16', originating from Oberlungwitz, was placed on the Hauptwerk instead of the Bordun 16'. From the same organ the Lieblich Gedackt 8' was placed on the Oberwerk instead of the Gedackt 8'. The Doppelflöte 8' of the Hauptwerk was replaced by a Gemshorn 2', the Violine 8' of the Oberwerk was placed on the Hauptwerk as a Salicional. Finally, a Choralbaß was placed on the pedal board instead of the Violon 16' and the pedal board was enriched with a Nachthorn 2' in place of the Dolce 8'.
  • The organ was last restored in 1995, also by the Eule company.
