In the following years he built organs in the area from Stettin to the Uckermark and Lower Lusatia, including for the Jacobikirche in Prenzlau (1851/52), the Marienkirche in Anklam (1852), the Wendish church in Vetschau (1859) and the St. Mary's Church in Pasewalk (1863). 1859 were employed as an assistantHoltz, Tillack and (Oswald) Dinse called in Vetschau. Friedrich Wilhelm Kaltschmidt introduced the mechanical cone drawer in his area from around 1860 . In 1862 he installed a rare seventh register 2 2/7 ' on the organ in the Oliva monastery .

In 1872 Friedrich Wilhelm Kaltschmidt handed the company over to his son Emil and continued to rent, buy and sell pianos and as a piano tuner.
