  • In 1919-1920, the Franz Reinisch company built a new organ for the Franziskanerkirche in Hall in Tirol. The instrument is installed in two identical organ cases on either side of the window on the gallery on the west side of the church. These cases were manufactured by Salvator Brexl from Schwaz. The wood carvings are by Adolf Vogl. The organ was inspected on July 22, 1920, after which Ägidius Födinger played a first concert on the instrument.
  • During the Second World War, the church was used as a storage place for the Tiroler Landestheater. After the war, the organ had to be cleaned and renovated. Johann Pirchner carried out this revision in 1956, and in 1958 the disposition was altered by Hermann Eiter. The organ was then taken back into use on October 7, 1958. The console was renovated in 1967 by Hans Stoff.
  • Despite advice and plans for demolition and a new organ, the organ was restored by Hubert Graf von Kersenbrock in 1990-1991. He placed a new console from the Eisenschmid company. In 2016 a renovation has been carried out by Christian Erler. In addition to technical restoration, he reconstructed the original 1920 stop list.
