  • In the years 1890-1893 the Sankt Johanneskirche of the Orthopädische Anstalt in Göggingen was built. Friedrich von Hessing, a former employee of Steinmeyer, commissioned the Steinmeyer firm to build a three-manual organ for the church, which was placed in an exuberant neo-Gothic case. The front was designed by Jean Keller from Augsburg. Before the final installation in the church, Steinmeyer exposed the organ during the Bayerischen Landes-Industrie-, Gewerbe- und Kunst-Austellung in Nürnberg in 1896. A special feature is the Physharmonika on the third manual with a knee sweller. A pedal driven pump for this register was also arranged above the actual pedal.
  • The organ was probably installed in the church between 1900 and 1904. The building was dedicated on September 29, 1906 as Simultankirche. The organ has never been modified after construction, but it fell into serious disrepair. On the advice of Michael Rassinger, organist of the church, it was overhauled by Gerhard Schmid in 1998.
