Johann Gottlieb Tamitius built an organ for the church of Waltersdorf in 1766. It is a two-manual organ with eighteen stops. In 1912 the organ was restored by Andreas Schuster. The front pipes were removed in 1917 as war metal. These were only renewed in 1951 during a renovation by Hermann Eule. He installed copper pipes. The organ was restored by Eule Orgelbau in 1995-1996, and new pewter front pipes were installed.
