- The organ in the monastery church in Besseringen was built in 1935 by Johannes Klais Orgelbau for the Sankt Josefkirche in Merzig. An temporary church was used during this time. After the construction of the new parish church, the organ was transferred to this building in 1959. In 1966 it was replaced by a larger instrument and sold to Besseringen. No organ case or facade was installed.
- In 1990 the organ was restored by Thomas Erz. He created a new prospect, which partly consists of mute pipes.
