  • The company E.F. Walcker & Cie built a new organ in 1967 for the Berger Kirche of the Evangelisch-Lutherische Kirche, located on the Wallstraße in Düsseldorf. This church, also known as the 'kleinere Kirche', was the only Evangelisch-Lutherische Kirche in the center of Düsseldorf before 1825. The organ has been replaced by an electronic (OR / BIT) organ.
  • Peter Ohlert rebuilt the organ in 2005 and installed it in the Evangelische Kirche (Gemeindezentrum) in Schwalbach in Saarland. It was dedicated here on September 4, 2005. Christina Voinescu played the inaugurational concert.
