  • The Roman Catholic Heilig Kreuzkirche in Augsburg was built as a monastery church for the Augustinians. In 1661 Christoph Egedacher built an organ for the church. This was replaced in 1766 by a completely new instrument by Johann Andreas Stein. After a rebuilt in 1787 (possibly by Johann Holzhay) and 1891 (by Josef Mühlbauer) this organ was finally replaced around 1915 with a new organ by Koulen from Augsburg. In 1944 the church and interior were destroyed during the war.
  • The stop list mentioned here is from Mühlbauer (1891).
