  • The Sankt Georgskirche in Lauterach was consecrated in 1883. Anton Behmann built an organ for this church, with mechanical action and cone chests. In 1913 the organ was converted to pneumatics by the Gebrüder Mayer, and in 1916 the action was electrified. The front pipes were requisitioned in 1917 and were later replaced by zinc pipes.
  • The organ was overhauled by Siegfried Jehmlich in the years 1984-1986. A thorough restoration was carried out by Rieger Orgelbau in 2020-2021.
