- In 1803 the Bürgy brothers built an organ for the church in Bleichenbach. In 1876 Ratzmann modified the organ. The console was moved and therefore the mechanisms had to be partly remade. The Trompete was replaced by a Geigenprincipal. A Posaune 16' was placed in stead of the Octave 4' of the pedal. In 1917 the front pipes were removed. They were replaced by zinc pipes in 1922 by Förster & Nicolaus.
- The organ was completely restored in 1974 by Gerald Woehl, taking the condition of 1876 as a starting point. The Pedal's Posaune had disappeared over time. The Geigenprincipal was removed. Both places on the wind chest remained unoccupied for the time being.
