  • The organ in the Protestant Church in Zeiskam was originally built in 1843 by Louis Voit. It was converted in 1877 by Gustav Schlimbach. In 1912 the old work was renewed by Adolf Poppe and rebuilt with pneumatic cone chests. Oberlinger modified the organ in 1958 under the advice of Adolf Graf. The disposition was radically changed, the voicing revised and the old organ case and prospect were simplified.
  • Georg Heintz built a new organ on the altar of the church in 1994. The old instrument is dismantled. Ten old registers have been installed in the new organ, including Poppe's Voix Céleste, and further material by Voit. The new organ has 33 stops on three manuals and pedal.
  • The specification stated here is from 1958.
