  • Until 1985, a two-manual organ by Steinmeyer from 1896 stood in the beautiful former Jesuitenkirche in Mindelheim, placed in cases from the years 1722-1727, which were most likely made by Augustin Simnacher. The Simnacher organ had eighteen stops, on two manuals and pedal. In 1832 it was equipped with a new pedal with three stops by Joseph and Meinrad Dreher. A new positive was also placed in a new case. Nothing was taken over from the old interior in 1896.
  • In 1985-1987 Rudolf Kubak built a new organ in the old cases. Much of Steinmeyer's pipework has been reused.
