- In the Klosterkirche in Oberzell in Bayern you can still find the facade of an organ by Johann Hoffmann from 1714. Hoffmann's organ was built in that year for this church, and had two manuals and pedal. In 1819 the organ was sold to the Stadtpfarrkirche in Lohr. Here in 1865 a new organ was built by Schlimbach, while retaining the old prospect. In 1901, however, a completely new organ was built in Lohr. The old organ case was then bought back for the Klosterkirche in Oberzell. The Steinmeyer firm built a new organ behind this front in 1905.
- The current organ was built in 1982 by Norbert Krieger. It is a three-manual organ with 39 stops.
