  • The organ in the parish church of Nalbach was built in 1860 by Breidenfeld & Söhne. It was originally a one-manual organ with fourteen registers. Heinrich Voltmann renewed the wind supply in 1893. During the Second World War the instrument was damaged. It was restored after the war in 1947-1948 by Julius Reimsbach. He also expanded the organ with a second manual with eight registers on a cone chest, and the pedal was enlarged by two stops. The organ case was extended on both sides to accommodate the new work. Hugo Mayer carried out an overhaul in 1959.
  • The current situation exists since a reconstruction from 1974 by Gerd Mayer. The 1948 extensions were removed. Mayer built a RÜckpositiv, which is designed in the same style as Breidenfeld's organ case.
