- In 1802, Georg Peter Wilhelm built a new organ for the Stiftskirche in Oberkaufungen. The organ has two manuals and pedal, with 21 stops. The original prospect pipes were removed in 1917, and replace in 1926-1927. In those years the organ was also modified by replace some stops, and an electric wind blower was installed. In 1938 the organ was relocated to the Kaiserloge.
- In 1974 a new organ was installed in the church on the east side of the nave. The Wilhelm organ remained on its place, but was not in use anymore. In 2013 a restoration started by Jehmlich Orgelbau, that was completed in 2019. On October 20, 2019, the organ was inaugurated again with a concertby Gerhard Weinberger.
