  • On February 1, 1895, a new organ was delivered by the Steinmeyer firm in the former cloister church of the Augustines in Langenzenn. The church, dedicated to the Holy Trinity, is in use as an Evangelical Lutheran church. The instrument, with twenty stops, was examined by mr. Neusinger, Stadtkantor in Langenzenn. The organ was installed in the case of the church's previous organ, which was built in 1720 by Johann Christoph Wiegleb. In 1975, the company Deininger & Renner overhauled the organ, and the specification of the second manual was altered. But is was decided soon hereafter to build a new organ.
  • The Steinmeyer organ was demolished in 1981 and replaced by a new organ of Deininger & Renner, which was put into use in 1982. Part of Steinmeyer's pipework has been reused during construction, and the case of Wiegleb has also been preserved.
