  • In the years 1758 and 1759 Christian Haußdörffer built a new organ with twelve stops for the Stadtkirche of Münsingen. The instrument was not altered until 1932. In that year, the Link company installed a pneumatic mechanism with sixteen stops in the old organ case. After a revision in 1960, in which the disposition was extended to 23 stops, the organ was placed on the floor of the church in the choir.
  • Under the advice of Gerhard Rehm and Beate Seiler, Peter Vier built a new mechanical instrument in 1976. This organ has four manuals, the first of which functions as a coupling manual. The lower part of the organ case is newly made, the front of the upper case is historic. The organ was inaugurated on December 19, 1976.
