In 1913, the Heinrich Voit & Söhn company built a new two-manual organ for the parish church in Hagenbach. It is placed behind the 1752 facade of the church's previous organ, which was probably made by Johann Michael Hartung. The instrument was repaired by Johann Michael Stiehr in 1789. The new Voit organ is a pneumatic instrument with membrane chests. In 1953 the disposition and voicing of the organ were altered by the firm Steuer from Karlsruhe.
