The organ of the Jahrhunderthalle in Breslau was built in 1913 by Paul Walcker from W. Sauer Orgelbau Frankfurt (Oder) and at the time of inauguration was the largest organ in the world .

Building history

The inauguration of the hall was celebrated with the largest organ in the world at the time , a creation by the Frankfurt organ builder Wilhelm Sauer . The organ had 15,133 pipes and 200 registers. For the inauguration of this organ, Max Reger had composed the monumental work Introduction, Passacaglia and Fugue in E minor, Op. 127, on behalf of the city of Wroclaw . The world premiere was given on September 24, 1913 by Karl Straube , to whom the work is also dedicated.

After the Second World War , this important organ was expanded from the Centennial Hall and divided into three new organs. This is how, among other things, the Wroclaw Cathedral organ was created , which today is the largest organ in Poland with 150 registers and 13,207 pipes.
