- In 1975/76 the Späth company built a new organ for the Liebfrauenkirche in Mengen. The instrument had two manuals and a pedal with a total number of 26 stops. It was replaced by Harald Rapp in 1995 with new construction, with around 40% of the pipework being reused.
- In 2012 the organ was re-voiced by Albert Nass from the firm Freiburger Orgelbau. The pipework has been cleaned piece by piece and repaired where necessary. The work was completed at the end of 2012.
