- In 1969, the Walcker company built a new organ for the Evangelische Kirche in Bischofsheim (Maintal). The instrument was replaced in 1998. In 1999 Johannes Kircher transferred the Walcker organ to the Kirche von der Verklärung des Herrn in Berlin-Marzahn. This church was built in 1989/1990 to a design by Hermann Korneli. The Walcker organ was restored by Kircher, radically modified and expanded with three reeds and a Bourdon 16' on the Hauptwerk. It was inaugurated in Marzahn on December 12, 1999.
- In 2010, Johannes Kircher replaced Walcker's Subbaß with a new one made of wood. He placed the large octave on a separate pneumatic cone drawer, to make it sound better in the church. In 2012, the register buttons were replaced by nicer ones. The disposition was expanded in 2016 with a Gamba and a Voix Celeste on the Schwellwerk, and in 2014 with a sub-octave couple for the Schwellwerk. In 2016, the Mixtur was also replaced, and a Choralbaß was placed on the pedal instead of the Gemshorn.
