Built by: Eule Orgelbau (1942) - opus 235


  • In 1942, the company Hermann Eule Orgelbau built a two-manual organ for the so-called 'Kleine Ballsaal' (small ballroom) of the Schloß in Dresden. This room was located on the second floor of the Georgenbau. Consultant was Gerhard Paulik, organist of the Johanniskirche, with an organ by Eule from 1878, rebuilt in 1909. He designed a stop list with fifteen stops, where three pedal stops were transmissions. The organ was completed on February 28, 1942. The first official recital was on May 16, 1942, when Gerhard Paulik played the organ, together with an orchestra.
  • In December 1944, there was a plan to expand the instrument with a soft stop on the second manual, called 'Zartstimme', It was designed by Gerhard Paulik as having 2 to 3 ranks. The plan was to install this stop in January 1945, but it never happened. The organ was lost during the bombing on Dresden on February 13, 1945.
