- The Sankt Josefkirche in Höchst am Main was consecrated in 1914. It is a large church, designed in neo-Romanesque style, with three towers. Heinrich Wilhelm Voigt built an organ for the church in 1918-1919. The instrument was expanded by Walcker in 1928. In 1971, Förster & Nicolaus carried out a revision, but after just a few years the organ was no longer playable. An electronic organ has been in use since 1984.
- On November 4, 2001, a digital concert organ was dedicated, with speakers behind the old front. It is not clear whether the old organ was completely demolished.
