Die Schrankflügel-Orgel der Fuggerkapelle in der Annakirche in Augsburg (1512)

 

Renaissance cabinet wing organ of the Fugger Chapel in St. Anne's Church in Augsburg (1512)

 

"The Church of St. Anne (German: St. Anna-Kirche) is a medieval Evangelical Lutheran parish church in Augsburg, Germany. Originally built in 1321, it has undergone several significant renovations since, and is notable for its elaborate interior decoration, and its role in Protestant-Catholic relations in Germany.

 

The choir of the church, a memorial chapel dedicated to the Fugger family, dates to the early 16th century, and is one of the earliest examples of Renaissance architecture north of the alps. Despite the church becoming Protestant in 1548, the Fugger Chapel has remained Catholic since its construction."

Jörg Breu the Elder (1475–1537) painted the wings for the organ, which was built by Jan Behaim in 1512.
