- The Weissenborn company built a new organ for the Simeonkirche in Karlsruhe in 1956. The church originally had an organ by the firm Voit & Söhne from 1914, which was lost due to bombing in 1944. The new organ was put into use during the Erntedankfest 1956.
- In 1985 Wolfgang Braun carried out a revision, in which the disposition was changed and the intonation was revised. The advisor for the work was Siegfried Schwertner, who put the organ back into use on September 22, 1985.
- In 2016, the Jäger & Brommer company started restoring the organ. This was completed with a recommissioning on June 5, 2016. On this occasion, Frank Eichler played the renewed instrument, in collaboration with Bella Kublanova, flute.
