  • On August 28, 1890, a new organ by Heinrich Voit & Söhne was inaugurated in the new Sankt Ludwigskirche in Edenkoben. The church itself had been consecrated three days earlier. The organ was played by Mr. L. Boslet from Ludwigshafen with works by Frescobaldi, Schumann, Bach, Dienel, Thiele, Wagner, Lux and Boslet. The previous church building also had an organ by Voit dating from 1874-1875. It is possible that pipework from this organ has been reused.
  • In 1972, Hugo Mayer carried out a renovation, in which the stop list and the voicing were modified. Gerhard Kuhn built a new organ in Voit's organ case in 1990. Eleven registers from Voit and five registers from Mayer have been reused.
