In 1784 Johannes Weinmar built an organ for the Nikolauskirche in Mundelsheim. It had fourteen stops on two manuals and pedal. The instrument was repaired by his son Johann Jakob in 1793. A renovation was carried out by Johann Heinrich Schaefer in 1877. Some registers have disappeared. In 1934, Walcker moved the organ from the church's choir to a gallery on the west side. A restoration was carried out by Richard Rensch in 1968, in which the original disposition was largely restored, but with some changes.
