1980 Gerhard Kuhn3 new organ in old case

In 1842 Heinrich Voit built a new organ for the Sankt-Bartholomäus-Kirche in Zeiskam. The old interior was replaced in 1910 by a pneumatic organ of the Gebrüder Link. This organ, opus 528 of the firm, had 22 stops. It was badly damaged by war in 1945, but was rebuilt in 1952 by the company Link. Gerhard Kuhn built a new organ in the old organ case in 1980 with mechanical action and slider chests. Seven stops are re-used from the Link organ.
