- In 1884 Johannes Klais built an organ for the Sankt Pankratiuskirche in Königswinter-Oberpleis. The organ is listed as opus 5 in Klais's opus list. In 1894, it was expanded with a second manual by him. It was converted and expanded to 23 stops in 1959 by Hans Klais and replaced in 1980 by a completely new organ from the same company. The old organ was transferred to the Sankt Michaelskirche in Köln-Porz-Eil in 1976.
- The Sankt Michaelkirche in Köln-Eil was built in the years 1902-1905. An organ was put into use on December 5, 1925. The damage caused by the Second World War was not too bad, but in January 1945 the tower was partly destroyed by a bomb. A new tower was built after the war. The organ, installed in the 1950s, was lost due to a fire in the organ gallery on September 2, 1971. In 1976, the organ of Klais from Oberpleis was installed.
