In 1897 Louis Voit built a two manual organ with sixteen stops for the Sankt Gertrudkirche in Leimersheim. The church building was converted in 1969 and expanded with a new part. A completely new organ has been installed by Wolfgang Scherpf. The new organ has mechanical action and slider chests. It was converted in 1984 by Gerhard Kuhn and renovated in 1992 by the same company.
