  • In 1877 Heinrich Voit built a two-manual organ with thirty stops for the Sankt Mauritiuskirche in Rülzheim. It had mechanical action and cone chests. In 1930 the organ was rebuilt by Franz Kämmerer with pneumatic action. It was replaced with a new organ in 1955.
  • The instrument was sold and was transferred by Hugo Wehr to the Sankt Michaelkirche in Weingarten in the Palatinate. The stop list has been modified and a new organ case has been installed. Some years later the Klarinette of the Hauptwerk was replaced with a Kornett 3 fach. In 2001 maintenance works have been carried out.
