- In 1846, the Gebr. Müller from Reifferscheid built a new organ for the Friedhofskirche Sankt Dionysius in Übach-Palenberg. It was placed in an older case from around 1750, which was present in the church. The organ had two manuals and pulldown pedals. The lower octave of the two 8'-stops of the second manual (Nebenwerk) are transmissions from the first manual (Hauptwerk).
- In 1981 the organ was purchased by the Gregoriushaus in Aachen. The Heinz Wilbrand restored it and expanded it with a free pedal with four ranks. The Quinte 2 2/3' of the Nebenwerk was replaced by a Spitzflöte 2'. The wooden pipes have been renewed because they were damaged by woodworm. The Prinzipal 8' and Trompete 8' have also been replaced by new ones. The organ was installed in the Vortragssaal (audition room) of the Gregoriushaus.
- The organ was sold after the Gregoriushaus was closed. It was purchased on the advice of Ulrich Peters for the Sankt Michaelskirche in Düren-Lendersdorf. The Stahlhuth organ from 1953 in this church no longer functioned, and a restoration was not considered meaningful. The old organ was dismantled and removed in 1992. The Müller organ was transferred by the Wilbrand to Lendersdorf and was dedicated on October 21, 2007.
