| Year | Builder | Opus | Activity | 1767 | Gottfried Sonnholz | new organ | 1950 | Pirchner Orgelbau | rebuild | 2017 | Wolfgang Karner | reconstruction |
- In 1767 a new organ was built for the Malteserkirche in Vienna by Gottfried Sonnholz. The instrument had eight stops, divided between a manual and an independent pedal.
- In 1950, using material from this organ and the organ case, a new organ was built by the Pirchner company with sixteen stops, two manuals and pedal. The compass of the keyboards was increased and the pedal pipework was placed in a separate case behind the organ.
- Wolfgang Karner carried out a reconstruction of Sonnholz's organ in 2017. Much of the old pipework was still there, the rest was made new in style of the original work.
