  • In 1908 the Klais company installed an organ with one manual and an independent pedal in a the Sankt Katharinakirche in Oberhausen. In 1962 it was transferred to the Sankt Michaelkirche in Wermelskirchen. After Klais built a new organ for this church in 1975, the old organ was moved to the Sankt Lambertuskirche in Bedburg as an emergency organ (?). In 1978, the Weimbs company transferred it after restoration, during which the disposition was changed, to the Sankt Laurentiuskirche in Elsdorf-Esch.
  • It was restored by Peter Ohlert in 2006 and transferred to the Simultankirche of the University Clinic in Homburg. The Superoctav 2' on the manual is not original. A Gamba 8' probably stood on this spot. The organ was inaugurated on November 5, 2006 in Homburg.
