  • The Walcker company built a new organ for the Stadtkirche in Marbach am Neckar in 1892. The instrument was inspected on February 2, 1893 by Albert Braun, Musikdirektor in Ludwigsburg. The church was built in the years 1698-1700, after the previous church was lost to a fire. The first organ was installed in 1701 by Johann Michael Schmahl. This was demolished in 1892.
  • The Walcker organ stood on a gallery in the choir of the church. During a renovation of the church interior in 1966, the gallery and organ were demolished. A new organ was built on the floor of the choir with 23 registers.
