  • In 1763 Joseph Anton Onymus built an organ for the Sankt Walburgakirche in Friesenheim. The instrument was converted in 1906 by Heinrich Bechstein. In 1960, Kemper & Sohn carried out a revision. Part of the pipework has been renewed. In 1993 the company Förster & Nicolaus restored the organ.
  • On the manual windchest is one slide, which has been unoccupied since the construction of the organ. This place is probably reserved for a Trompete 8', divided in bass en descant.
