The organ contains older material: Organ case from 1608 by Marx Günzer

- The history of the main organ in the Basilika Sankt Ulrich und Afra in Augsburg starts in 1580, when Jakob Fugger had an organ built by Eusebius Amerbach from Augsburg for the Michaelskapelle of the church, which was then still in use as Benediktinerabteikirche. This chapel was set up as a burial chapel for the Fugger family. In 1608, the organ was converted by Marx Günzer, provided with a new case and placed on a gallery on the west side of the church. The organ case was decorated with beautiful carvings by Paulus Mair and it was painted by Matthias Kager.
- In 1790 Andreas Stein and Joseph Wirth rebuilt the organ and several new stops were placed. The organ was expanded by Joseph Bohl in 1862 with a second keyboard. In 1903, Heinrich Koulen replaced the interior with a large pneumatic organ. This was overhauled by Max Offner in 1972, but in 1981 it was demolished.
- A new organ was built by Sandtner Orgelbau, which was completed in 1982. The old organ case from 1608 was reused and supplemented with a Rückpositiv in the same style. The pedal and the Schwellwerk are placed behind the organ case. Some stops from the previous organ were reused.
- The organ was re-voiced by the Sandtner company in 1998. The disposition has also been slightly modified, sub- and super-octave couplers have been added and the technique of the playing aids (Setzer combinations) has been modernized.
