Weigle built a new organ for the Hospitalkirche in Stuttgart in 1961. Helmut Bornefeld was consultant. The front was designed by professor R. Lempp. In 1974 the disposition was changed. The Mixtur of the Hauptwerk was split into a high and a low mixture and the Hauptwerk was expanded with a Trompete 8'. In 1987 the Harfenregal 16' from the Schwellwerk was placed on the Rückpositiv. A Hautbois 8' was placed in the open space and a Gemsflöte 2' was also placed on the Schwellwerk.
