- A historic organ from the mid-eighteenth century has been located in the Fuggereikirche Sankt Markus in Augsburg since 1958. Gottfried Silbermann is mentioned as a builder, but there is no evidence for this. It is also attributed to Jacob Engelbert Teschenmacher, which is much more likely. The organ has been radically renovated and has a pneumatic action and a cone chest. It was probably converted by Steinmeyer in 1929. The instrument comes from the castle of the counts Bongard in Paffendorf near Cologne.
- In 1798 heirs to this house donated the organ to the Rektoratskirche in Horbach, near Aachen. In 1858 it was transferred by Wilhelm Schaeben to the church of Strauch near Monschau. After this it became the property of a private person in Bamberg, whose widow donated it to Dr. Wilhelm Regendanz. He had it overhauled by Steinmeyer in 1929 and placed in Schwenzin Castle near Waren in Neubrandenburg. Around 1936 it became the property of the Augsburg composer Arthur Piechler, who later moved to Landau on the Isar. After his death it was bought by the Fuggereikirche, where the organ was placed by Max Offner Jr. in 1958. Offner replaced the Salicet 8' with an Octav 2'.
