1987 Gerald Woehl  reconstruction

  • In the 1737 Johann Philipp Seuffert built a monumental baroque organ for the monastery church in Banz. The instrument has two manuals and an independent pedal with 28 stops. The console was placed freestanding. In 1904 the old interior was removed and a pneumatic organ with a romantic stop list was placed in the old cases by Joseph Franz Bittner.
  • In the years 1985-1987, Gerard Woehl placed an old interior by Seuffert from 1746/1747, originally built for a monastery in Grafschaft, in the organ case. This pipework was removed in 1970 by Wolfgang Böttner from the organ of the church of Frankenberg, where it had been placed in 1811. The mechanical parts and the wind supply are new, but the windchests and pipework are old.
