  • In 1872, a new organ was installed in the parish church of Kelmis (or in German 'Altenberg'). The organ cases were manufactured by Johann Kramer from Aachen. The organ was dedicated with Christmas 1872 with a concert by mr. M. Hilgers. In 1905 the organ was restored and enlarged by Müller.
  • The company Gebr. Slootmaekers rebuilt the organ in 1927 from mechanical action to pneumatic cone chests, with new chests, new bellows, a new console and two new stops. The organ fell into disrepair in time, and was unplayable in the sixties. A new organ by Schumacher was installed on the choir of the church in 1968. The Müller organ was dismantled, except for the organ cases, that remained on the gallery. The prospect pipes are also removed. They were replaced with wooden panels with painted pipes.
