1861 Gustav Schlimbach  new organ
1979 Werner Owart  restoration

In 1782, Johann Ignaz Seuffert built a new organ for the Protestant Church in Freimersheim in the Palatinate. This instrument was already destroyed in 1794, when soldiers looted the church building. After restoration of the church, a second-hand organ was bought in 1811 in Großsachsen an der Bergstraße. Because this organ was in poor condition, it was replaced in 1861 by a completely new organ, built by Gustav Schlimbach. This organ has twelve registers on one manual and an independent pedal. It was restored in the years 1977-1979 by Werner Owart.
