  • Gustav Schlimbach built an organ for the parish church of Ottweiler in 1861. It is a two manual organ with nineteen registers. In 1970-1971 Hugo Mayer carried out a restoration. He replaced three stops of the Echowerk with others: Fernflöte 8', Harmonika 8' and Stillflöte 4' were dropped in favor of Waldflöte 2', Scharff 3 fach and Krummhorn 8'. On the pedal, the Violon 16' was replaced by a Fagott 16'. The pedalboard compass was increased to thirty keys. On March 20, 1971, the organ was reopened with a concert by Wolfgang Oehms.
  • The organ was damaged by a fire in the church on December 28, 2011. Dietmar Schömer restored the instrument in 2012-2013. New front pipes have been installed.
