• The largest church organ in the world is located in Passau since 1928. The enormous instrument actually consists of a number of organs, which can be played together from one giant console. The main organ is on a gallery on the west side of the church in a historical organ case, constructed by Joseph Götz in 1731. In the south aisle is the epistle organ with 26 stops, in the north aisle the gospel organ with 25 stops. Then there is the choir organ, placed in the priest's choir, with 37 stops. The last part to be considered is the Fernwerk (distant organ), installed at a height of 30 meters above the pulpit in the nave of the church. This organ has 17 registers, including some large steel pipes.
  
• The history of this entire work begins in 1685. In that year Leopold Freundt built a large organ in the church, which was expanded in the years 1715-1718 with 10 stops by Johann Ignaz Egedacher. The organ consisted of two swallow's nest organs on the pillars of the church. The cases were made by Joseph Hartmann, and these cases are still present today for the gospel and epistle organ. But they are no longer in their original location. In 1870 they moved to the side aisles. In 1731-1733 Egedacher built a large main organ with 39 stops. Joseph Matthias Götz created the organ case. This main instrument was completely renovated between 1886 and 1889 by Martin Hechenberger, while retaining the old case.
  
• The Steinmeyer firm built a completely new large organ in the years 1924-1928, which was spread over five locations in the church. All the old organ cases were all reused. The various organs could be played from the central console, but they all also had their own console. In fact, there were five organs with one central console. The whole instrument had a total number of 208 stops. Karl Straube was one of the consultants involved in the project. The organ had an electrical action.
  
• Because the organ showed many malfunctions, it was decided to have a new instrument built with modern transmission techniques. The company Ludwig & Wolfgang Eisenbarth from Passau rebuilt the work. The layout has remained the same as that of Steinmeyer. The main organ has been given a new console with four manuals, where 77 of the 126 registers can be played mechanically. The old console has also been reused to make all organs playable from one place. In total, the entire work now has 233 sounding registers, including four chimes. The five organs can also be played from their own consoles independently. The main organ is equipped with electronic Setzer combinations. The renewed instrument was inaugurated in 1981.
