- In 1935-1936, the company Klais built a new pneumatic organ for the Gemeinschaftssaal of the Provinzial Feuerversicherung in Düsseldorf. The organ had two manuals and pedal, with 24 stops. In 1972 the instrument was dismantled by Gerhard Opitz, and relocated to the Sankt Josephkirche in Düsseldorf-Wersten. After ten years, the organ was relocated again, to the the parish church of Sankt Gertrud in Düsseldorf-Eller, by Weimbs Orgelbau.
- In 1999, Weimbs Orgelbau constructed a new organ, using much of the pipework of Klais. The new instrument has 22 stops on two manuals and pedal. The organ has been overhauled by Weimbs in 2021-2022.
