Rösel & Hercher Orgelbau is an organ building workshop based in Saalfeld / Saale , which was founded on October 3rd, 1990.

As with the Thuringian organ building company in Waltershausen , the company was only founded through German reunification . Since it was founded, the company has built, restored or completely overhauled over 100 instruments. One focus of activity is on the organ landscape of Thuringia , where the company restored important organ works from the Baroque and Romantic periods. With the restoration of the organs in Merseburg and Tiefthal, Rösel & Hercher was entrusted with one of the first and one of the last works by the famous Friedrich Ladegast . In the course of the renovation of the organ in the Goetheanum , the company created a special atmospherethe anthroposophist Maria Renold, who renounces a closed circle of fifths in favor of many pure fifths . The new organ in Pößneck , completed in 2008, serves as a concert instrument for the International Pößneck Organ Spring. The company, which employs six people, is managed by master organ builder Andreas Rösel and organ builder Holger Hercher (as of January 2012).
