1881 Wilhelm Ratzmann  new organ
1988 Karl Lötzerich  restoration

  • In 1858, Karl Ziese built a new organ for the church of Rauischholzhausen - until 1934 called Holzhausen -, that was installed a number of years later in the church, probably in 1865. Already in 1881, this instrument was sold and replaced with a new organ by Wilhelm Ratzmann. This instrument has two manuals and pedal and ten stops.
  • The original prospect pipes were removed in 1917 for war purposes. They have been replaced some years later. In 1961 an electric blower was installed. The organ has been restored in 1988 by Karl Lötzerich.
