In 1765, the Stumm brothers built a one-manual organ for the Evangelische Kirche in Sötern with eleven stops on the manual and two on the pedal. It was converted in 1889 by Gustav Stumm. He enlarged the facade with two side squares and modified the disposition. Around 1930 the old organ was rebuilt by Oberlinger with pneumatic wind chests and a smaller stop list and attached pedal. The organ had not functioned for several years, when it was rebuilt in 1974 with mechanical action and slider chests by Gustav Cartellieri. He did not reconstruct the original concept. Rainer Müller carried out an overhaul in 2004.
