After the construction of a new church, the order for the construction of an organ was again given to Silbermann. He built this in the years 1735-1738. This organ was put into use on July 2, 1738. But this instrument, too, was lost to a fire that destroyed part of Frauenstein during the night of 2 to 3 October 1869.
