Around 1805, Franz Seuffert built an organ for the Evangelische Kirche in Frankweiler. The interior was replaced in 1928 by a new two-manual instrument by Joseph Poppe. It was built with pneumatic action and cone chests. In 1971 the Poppe organ demolishes and a new organ was installed behind the historic prospect. The work was carried out by Werner Owart and was completed in 1972. The organ has been overhauled in 2007 by Markus Graser.
