- In 1965 the Zeilhuber company built a three manual organ for the Pfarrkirche Sankt Johann Baptist in Munich. During construction, pipework was taken from the previous organ of the church, built in 1907 by Franz Borgias März. It also contained pipes by Frosch from 1866.
- In 2004, the Späth company built a new organ for the church in Munich. The old instrument was bought by Thomas Gaida. Using the wind chests, parts of the pipework and the action, he built an organ for the Pfarrkirche Maria vom Frieden in Homburg-Erbach, Saarland. It was placed in the organ case in this church, built by Hugo Mayer in 1966. Some pipework was also used from this organ. The new organ has three manuals. The two works Solo and Carillon can be linked to all three manuals. The organ was dedicated on 15 August 2008, followed by a concert by Jürgen Weyers and Christian von Blohn
