Description nr.: 2007792.
Built by: Seifert Orgelbau (2004)
In 2003/2004 the company Seifert built a new organ for the Benediktinerinnenabtei Sankt-Hildegard in Eibingen. The previous organ of the church, also an instrument of Seifert, was sold to the Heilig Hartkerk in Vught in the Netherlands. The new organ was inaugurated on July 25, 2004. Four stops had not yet been placed on the Schwellwerk. Hautpwerk and Positiv are largely combined by means of an shared slide ('Wechselschleife'). When it was dedicated, the organ was played by Volker Krebs and Edgar Krapp.
