- Ludwig Becker designed the Sankt Eligiuskirche in Völklingen, which was built in 1912-1913. In the old church there was a small organ by Mamert Hock from around 1900, which was sold to Luisenthal. In 1925, the Stahlhuth company built an organ for an exhibition in Luxembourg. This organ was subsequently bought by the parish and was consecrated in 1927.
- The instrument was restored by Klais in 1982. The original pneumatic action and the cone chests have been replaced by mechanical slider chests. The stop list has been expanded with eight new stops.
