- In the years 2001-2004, the Hey company built a new organ for the Sankt Kilianskirche in Mellrichstadt, using a lot of pipework and the organ case of the previous organ. The original organ case was used for the main work, flanked by new pedal towers. The choir organ in the church was renovated by Hey and connected to the third manual of the main organ. There is also a separate console for the choir organ. The organ was inaugurated on April 4, 2004, followed by a concert by Peter Rottmann.
- Earlier in 1976-1977 Hey built a new organ in the organ cases with three manuals and pedal and 44 stops.
