  • The organ in the Église Saint-Léger in Kogenheim was built as opus 87 of Martin and Joseph Rinckenbach in 1905. In 1917, the original prospect pipes were removed as war metal. They were replaced some years after the war, probably in 1920 by Joseph Rinckenbach. The organ was also enlarged with three new stops.
  • In 1981, a renovation was carried out by Ernest Muhleisen. Muhleisen restored the organ in 2000-2001. During these works new prospect pipes from pewter were installed, and the voicing was corrected. On October 21, 2001, the organ was re-dedicated with a recital by Renaud Schmitt.
