1965 Michael Weise  new organ
2018 Andreas Hemmerlein  restoration
2018 Benedikt Friedrich  restoration

  • In 1965 Michael Weise built a new organ for the Sankt Georgkirche in Höchstadt an der Aisch. During the construction, five stops were taken from the previous organ of the church, an instrument of the Gebr. Hindelang from 1936. These are the Nachthorn 2' of the Rückpositiv, the Oboe 8' of the Schwellwerk and on the pedal the Oktavbaß 8', Choralbaß 4' and Pedal-Mixtur 4 fach.
  • A renovation of the organ was started in 2018. The pipes and part of the mechanism were restored by the firm Hemmerlein from Cadolzburg. The company Benedikt Friedrich from Oberasbach has restored the wind chests, the wind supply and the technical equipment.
