1964 Gerhard Schmid  new organ
2012 Paul Manuel  transfer/relocate

  • In 1964 Gerhard Schmid built a large organ with four manuals and pedal for the Dreifaltigkeitskirche in Kaufbeuren. Rückpositiv and Unterpositiv were both played from the first manual.
  • Fundraising started in 2005 for a major renovation of the organ. The intention was that there would be installed a new console with Setzer combinations. Furthermore, some registers would be replaced, so that it would also be possible to perform organ works from the Romantic era. But in 2008 the plans were altered and it was decided to build a completely new organ. The Schmid organ was sold in 2011 and, after a last service at Christmas 2011, dismantled and transferred to France, where it is placed in Paul Manuel's barn in Argentina. Some changes have been made here. It was transferred by Paul Manuel himself.
