In 1909, the Steinmeyer firm installed a two-manual pneumatic organ with eight stops in the Simultankirche in Homburg. The instrument was no longer playable in 1968 due to damage from the hot air heating and was taken out of use. In 1971 part of the church collapsed, causing further damage to the organ. It was finally demolished in 1984. In 1972 a replacement positive was prepared.
