Around 1895, Heinrich Voit built an organ for the Sankt Stephanuskirche in Gleisweiler. It was built with pneumatic traction and most likely Taschenladen, as was customary at Voit. In 1935 the organ was renovated by Franz Kämmerer. The current cone chests may have been made by him. In 1955, Wolfgang Scherpf carried out a renovation. He replaced the Hohlflöte and Aeolin with a Feldpfeife 1' and a Nachthorn 2'. The Mixtur was also altered or renewed. In 1973, Paul Zimnol overhauled the organ.
