  • In 1856, a new organ was installed in the Sankt Martinskirche in Weichs by Georg Beer. The instrument had fourteen stops on two manuals and pedal. The previous organ was transferred to the Sankt Laurentiuskirche of Günzenhausen (near Ehring).
  • When a new organ was built for the church in Weichs by Steinmeyer in 1922, the old instrument was sold to the parish of Sankt Joachim in München-Neuaubing. The parish church in Neuaubing was built as a wooden 'Notkirche', that was dedicated on May 29, 1921. When Aubing was merged into the city of München, the church was rededicated in 1942 to Sankt Konrad von Parzham. When a new church was built in 1955-1956, the organ was not transferred to this building, but a new organ had been constructed.
