The Walcker organ was donated to the protestant congregation in Perpignan. On 26 and 27 October 2013 the organ was played for the last time in Stuttgart.
  • The organ was rebuilt by Mickaël and Silas Mauch in a new case and installed in the Temple Réformé in Perpignan. All german stop names were translated in french. The renewed organ was inaugurated on May 18, 2014.
