1821 Georg Franz Ratzmann  new organ
2018 Eberswalder Orgelbau  restoration

  • In 1821, Georg Franz Ratzmann built a new organ for the church in Hötzelsroda, near Eisenach. It has twelve stops on one manual and pedal.
  • The organ was no longer in use for a long time, when it was sold. After a restoration by Orgelbauwerkstatt Eberswalde in the years 2016-2018, it was relocated to the village church in Pessin, where only a small positive by Sauer was present. On September 29, 2018, the instrument could be inaugurated on the new location. Wieland Meinhold played the inaugurational concert.
  • In the church of Pessin was a main organ earlier, built by Friedrich Hermann Lütkemüller in 1848, also with twelve stops. This instrument was no longer playable after World War II, and disappeared from the church without a trace. Only one door of the organ case and a small part of one pipe are the remains of this instrument.
