  • The organ in the Sankt Josephkirche in Annweiler was built in 1901 by Friedrich Weigle. The romantic character of the instrument was modified in 1965 by Hugo Wehr, who shortened or replaced many stops. He also installed a wind motor. In 1997 Gerhard Kuhn carried out a renovation.
  • According to Bernhard H. Bonkhoff (2012) there is a Violon 16' on the pedal. This stop is not mentioned in other sources.
