- After the construction of a new church for the Protestant Gemeinde in Webenheim, an organ was purchased from the firm Walcker & Cie. This organ was exhibited in 1873 at the World Exhibition in Vienna. It is a two-manual organ with mechanical action and cone chests. The organ was first to be sold to a customer in England, but was sold to Webenheim in 1874. The prospect pipes are not speaking, and the instrument is completely installed in a swell box.
- On the advice of Adolf Graf, the stoplist was modified during a renovation by Lotar Hintz in 1958. The swell box was removed. In 1985, the Walcker company carried out a restoration. The swell box has been restored, but the registers from 1958 have been preserved. These have been revoiced.
- The church building is named Martin-Lutherkirche. The church has also been furnished as a Kolumbarium for several years, but church services are also still held there.
