The organ contains older material: Organ case from 1776 by Gebrüder Wagner
In the Christophori-Kirche in Hohenstein there is a baroque organ case with an interior by the Jehmlich company from 1925. The case was built in 1776 by the Wagner brothers for an organ with 29 stops. Jehmlich did extend the organ case. The instrument was built with almost sixty registers, divided over three manuals and pedal. The Fernwerk is placed above the organ in the vault and can be played from the second manual. The front pipes are still partly from the old organ. In 1942 Jehmlich carried out work on the organ, whereby the disposition was altered.
