Historic Organ in Lubecko. History and Future
Historic Organ in Lubecko. History and Future

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the organ in Lubecko built in 1780 in Jemielnica and then relocated to Lubecko before 1834 (that year, the organ was already being renovated by Johann Hawel). For many years, it was believed the organ was built by the Scheffler family company operating both in Jemielnica and in the Lubliniec region. However, it has been discovered that a sticker placed in the pallet box of the windchest contains extremely important information that the actual builder of the organ was Franz Joseph Weiss who worked in Pyskowice in Upper Silesia at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. The organ therefore is of high cultural value due to both the person of its builder and the construction solutions used. Currently, the organ is out of use. It requires a restoration plan and being entered into the register of monuments.
