In the Evangelische Kirche in Fußgönheim a second-hand organ was placed in 1822 by Wendelin Ubhaus, which was built in 1788 by Friedrich Müller (Heidelberg) for the Evangelisch-Lutherische Kirche in Neckargemünd. The interior was replaced in 1911 by a new organ from the Steinmeyer company. It was a two-manual organ with fourteen stops, including two transmissions. The action was pneumatic, and the wind chests were membrane chests. The Steinmeyer interior was replaced in 1977 by the current organ, built by the Oberlinger company. Consultant was Heinz Göttsche.
