  • In 1941 the Jehmlich company completed a new four-manual organ in the Dom (Katedrále sv. Štepána) of Litoměřice. It was installed in the historic organ cases of Anton Reiss from 1779. This beautiful case was originally built for an organ of the Paulanerkerk in Prague, and was completed in 1780. Four years later, this organ moved to the Litoměřice.
  • Winfried Ellerhorst was the consultant for the construction of the new Jehmlich organ. The organ also contains pipework from Heinrich Schiffner from 1913.
