- The Herz-Jesu-Kirche in Ludwigshafen was built in the years 1926-1929 and was designed by Alfred Boßlet and Karl Lochner. In 1943 and 1945 the church was damaged by air raids. The rebuild was completed in 1951. The original organ, installed in 1932 by the Klais company, has been preserved. This organ originally had three manuals and a pedal with 44 registers. The windchests are Taschenladen. There was also a Rückpositiv designed with six registers, but that was never realized.
- To protect the organ it was disassembled in September 1943 by Klais. It was rebuilt in 1945 in the Sankt Laurentiuskirche in Schifferstadt. After the Herz-Jesu-Kirche had been completely restored, the organ was re-installed here in 1963 in a modified form. A new front has been designed. A four-manual console was installed, but the planned Oberwerk was never realized.
- In 1981 the organ was restored by Klais. It has also been revoiced, the pipes of the Mixtur (HW) and the Cymbel (BW) have been renewed and a new console has been installed.
