- The company Gebr. In 1883 Bernhard built a new organ for the Stadtkirche in Langen. The instrument was dedicated on August 26, 1883. It had 28 stops, mechanical action and cone chests and was placed in a neo-Gothic organ case. The original front pipes were requisitioned in 1917. These were replaced in 1923 by Föster & Nicolaus. In 1959 the instrument was renovated by the company Förster & Nicolaus.
- However, the organ showed many problems, so that it was already decided in 1962 to replace it. The Oberlinger company built a new organ in the original case from 1883. On May 10, 1964, this organ was consecrated.
- In 1997, the Oberlinger company carried out an overhaul in connection with a restoration of the church interior. In 2002 a new Setzer device was installed with 640 combination options.
