  • The Sankt Bonifazkirche in Ludwigshafen-Gartenstadt was built in the years 1929-1930 in the form of a classical basilica. The building was designed by Albert Boßlet and Karl Lochner. A pneumatic organ with twelve registers was placed in the church in 1932. This fell out of use, and was replaced by an electronic organ. Only the old prospect had been preserved.
  • In 1946-1947 Paul Sattel built an organ for the Bischöfliches Studienhaus Sankt Joseph in Speyer. This organ was taken over in 1979. It was renovated by Gerhard Kuhn and transferred to Ludwigshafen.
