  • In 1954, the Eule company built an organ for the neo-Gothic Markuskirche on Dresdner Straße in Leipzig-Reudnitz. Striking is the low opus number 228, which should have been included in the list in 1940-1941. The reason is that the construction of the organ was postponed for many years. It replaced an organ by Walcker from 1884. The basement of this organ was retained, and part of the pipework was reused.
  • The instrument was dismantled in 1974 due to the demolition of the church. The beautiful church had to close in 1973 due to dilapidation, and was eventually demolished in 1978. The organ was in storage until 1977, when it was rebuilt in the Heilig Geistkiche in Dresden-Blasewitz. It was inaugurated here on June 25, 1978. Until 1977, this church used a small organ from the Jehmlich company, which was subsequently moved to a room in the parish center.
  • The organ was restored by Ekkehart Groß in the years 2014-2015.
