The instrument was located behind the altar, but after a couple of months was moved to another location, to the right of the altar. The organ was dedicated on November 13, 1986, and the inauguration recital was played by Marie Kremer on November 16, 1986.
  • On January 24, 2000, a fire broke out in the church, and it was seriously damaged. Also the organ was damaged by the fire. Remains were taken to the workshop and used to build a new organ for the new church in 2001.
