  • In 1911-1912 the brothers Emil and Bruno Jehmlich built an organ for the new Zionskirche in Dresden. The organ was the first to be built in Saxony with electropneumatic action. It had 38 registers, divided over three manuals and pedal. Church and organ were dedicated on September 29, 1912. The organ was renovated and expanded by Jehmlich in 1934-1935. The organ was lost during the bombing of Dresden on February 13, 1945.
  • The ruins of the church still stand on the corner of Hohe Straße and Nürnberger Straße. A roof has been installed and a lapidarium has been set up in the church (Lapidarium Dresden).
  • Given here is the original specification from 1912.
