The Dreifaltigkeitskirche in Frankenthal was destroyed by bombing in 1943. The Weigle organ from 1929 was lost. After the church was rebuilt in 1949, a small temporary organ was installed. Wolfgang Scherpf completed a new three-manual organ with 31 registers in 1958. The instrument was replaced in 1983 by a new organ by Gerhard Kuhn. In addition to much of the pipework, Kuhn also used Scherpf's windchests and parts of the organ case.
