Company premises in Dresden

Johann Gotthold Jehmlich moved to Dresden in 1826 and built a workshop there. In 1839 Carl Gottlieb set up a workshop in Zwickau on the occasion of an organ building contract , which was continued until 1874. Gotthold's nephew Carl Eduard Jehmlich ran the Dresden workshop from 1862 to 1889, the brothers Emil and Bruno Jehmlich from 1889 to 1938 in the third generation and Otto and Rudolf Jehmlich from 1938 to 1972 in the fourth generation.

After the nationalization in 1972 as VEB Orgelbau Dresden , Horst Jehmlich took over the management. In 1990 the company was re- privatized under his leadership . Ralf Jehmlich has been the managing director in the sixth generation since 2006. In addition to new buildings, the maintenance and restoration of historical instruments play an important role - for example, currently (2018) the restoration of the Sauer - organ of the Lutheran Church (Apolda) . The company's headquarters are on Großenhainer Straße in the Leipzig suburb of Dresden.
