- Eberhard Heidenreich built a new organ with two manuals and free pedal for the Evangelische Kirche in Weißenstadt in 1829. In 1891 the instrument was rebuilt by the Steinmeyer company. They made new cone chests and modified the specification. Twelve stops of the original work have been preserved.
- In 2006 the organ was restored by the Sandtner company. Thomas Rothert was the consultant for the work. The Terz was taken from the Mixtur of the first manual and installed separately on an empty slide.
