Franz Joseph Wirth built a new organ for the Karmelitenkirche in Augsburg in 1786. After the monastery was closed, the instrument was relocated to the church of Breitenwang in Tyrol in 1812. Martin Anwander installed the organ in the church. The organ was replaced in 1888 by a new organ by Albert Mauracher, which was converted and expanded by Karl Reinisch in 1931. The old greenhouse was widened by him with two side fields. In 2000 the Verschueren company completed a new organ. The organ case was restored to its original condition and painted in the original colours. The organ has been consecrated on December 2nd, 2000.
