- In 1846 Carl Wagner built an organ for the Protestant church in Limbach. It had ten stops. Georg Meister carried out repairs in 1878. The front pipes were removed in 1917. A few years later, in 1922, the Steinmeyer firm built a new pneumatic organ in Wagner's organ case. This organ, opus 1334 of the firm, had thirteen registers on two manuals and pedal.
- The organ was demolished in 1968 and replaced by a new Steinmeyer organ. Wagner's case has also been demolished.
