Year	Builder	Opus	Activity
1936	Willibald Siemann	483	new organ
2019	Andreas Utz		restoration and enlargement

The organ in the Herz Jesukirche in Regensburg was built in 1936 by Willibald Siemann. The original plan was a two-manual organ, but the specification was modified to a three-manual organ with the same number of stops (30). The stop list has been designed following the ideas of the Elzasser Orgelreform.
In 2017-2019, the organ was restored by Andreas Utz. He enlarged the pedal with a Quintbass 10 2/3', and a modern combinaton action was added to the instrument. On March 17, 2019, the organ was dedicated again.
