Built by: Matthias Christian Baumann (1769)

  • In 1768-1769 Matthias Christian Baumann built a new organ with ten stops for the Protestant Church in Homburg. It replaced an organ by Johann Jacob Anschütz from 1720, which was in poor condition. The new organ remained in use until 1871. In that year the church was demolished and replaced by a larger new church, for which Walcker built an organ.
  • Baumann's organ was transferred in 1871 to the Protestant Church in Lambsborn. It served here until 1892. In that year, Walcker also built a new organ in this church.
