- In 1953 the Metzler company built a two-manual organ for the monastery church in Wettingen in Switzerland. The instrument was transferred by Norbert Sperschneider in 1991 to the Herz-Jesu-Kirche in Weimar. The Herz Jesukirche in Weimar was built to Max Meckel's plans. The church was consecrated on September 27, 1891. The swell box was taken out of use in Weimar. The wind engine and the bellows were taken over from the old organ of the church. However, the organ was offered for sale at the end of 2008 because the organ concealed a beautiful stained glass window.
- The new building of the Hersteld Hervormde Kerk in Elspeet was opened for worship on May 19, 2010. The Metzler organ was purchased for this church building. The prospect and organ case have only been partially taken over. The organ has been expanded with a new Rückpositiv. The Zimbel from the Hauptwerk has been moved to this work and was replaced by a Fagott 16'. The construction of the organ was carried out by volunteers. The intonation is done by the firm Ide Boogaard. The organ was inaugurated on March 2, 2013. It was played at this occasion by Rien Donkersloot.
