- In 1930 the Klais company built an organ for the Sankt Hubertkirche in Kempen. The instrument was overhauled by the Weimbs company in 1982, where they expanded the pedal with a Flöte 4'.
- The church building was restored in 1998-1999. The organ was temporarily partially dismantled and stored by the Klais company, and then re-installed again. The console has been restored by them. In 2018, the Verschueren company carried out an extensive restoration under the advice of Bernd Godemann. The instrument has been completely cleaned, treated against woodworm and the membranes have been renewed. Twelve pipes of the Flöte 8' have been replaced by new ones.
