  • Trinity Lutheran Church in Cincinnati was founded in 1849. The church building on Race Street was inaugurated in 1871. In 1891 Koehnken & Grimm supplied a two-manual organ, possibly a rebuilt and enlarged organ. The municipality was split into two parts in 1904. In 1927 they reunited, and the church was given a new name: Concordia Lutheran Church. In 1968 it was decided to build a new church near the community school on Clifton Hills Drive. The new church was inaugurated in 1969. The church on Race Street was now taken over by a small community that actively worked in the area. The church was renamed Prince of Peace Lutheran Church.
  • The organ has been modified over time, but is still in the church. The specification given has been taken from the Tracker of Spring 1977. It was noted here that Swell's Dulciana 8' was in reality a two-foot register, taken from the Mixture, which had only two choirs because of this. Furthermore, Swell's Saliconal and Violine were moved an octave higher. The church building was restored in 2016.
