The organ of the parish church in Großaitingen was built in 1751 by Johann Hörterich. The interior was replaced in 1906 by a new organ of Willibald Siemann from Munich with opus number 175. This instrument had pneumatic action and cone chests. In 1960 it was rebuilt and enlarged by the Offner company from Augsburg. The organ now had three manuals. In 2008 Josef Maier built a completely new organ behind the historical facade. On September 21, 2008 this organ was dedicated, followed with a concert by Andreas Maisch.
