Freiberg also has a notable cathedral containing two famous Gottfried Silbermann organs. There are two other organs made by Gottfried Silbermann in the town â one at the St. Peter’s Church (Petrikirche) and the other one at the St. James’ Church (Jakobikirche).
The name is a somewhat corrupted feminized Latin form for the original Greek name that meant “the Grape Gatherer,” as the first visibility of the star in morning light after the Sun cleared out of the way (the “heliacal rising”) told that it was time to pick the grapes.
