  • Peter Paul Braun built an organ for the Sankt Vituskirche in Altmannshofen in 1848. It had eight stops. In 1913 Albert Reiser replaced a Gedeckt with a Gamba 8'. Fifteen years later the organ was demolished and replaced by a new organ by Reiser with fifteen registers on two manuals and pedal. Advisor was Franz Josef Siller. The 1848 front has been used again.
  • The organ was partially dismantled in 1997 and replaced by an electronic organ. The pipework of the Hauptwerk and the console were stored in the attic of the church.
