1954 Wilhelm Sauer Orgelbau  rebuild
2001 Christian Scheffler  reconstruction

  • In 1806 Andreas Hesse built a two-manual organ for the Marienkirche in Neuzelle. The interior of this organ was replaced in 1906 by a completely new pneumatic instrument from the company Sauer. This organ had a specification that was typical for the construction period.
  • After World War II, Sauer was commissioned to overhaul the organ and to modernize the stop list. This meant that several original stops were replaced in order to obtain a more baroque sound character. The organ then slowly deteriorated.
  • In the 1990s, plans were made for the construction of a new Baroque-style organ in the old organ case. Ultimately, however, it was decided to return Sauer's workpiece to its original state. This reconstruction was carried out in the years 1999-2001 by Christian Scheffler.
