A brief history

1640 - 1650 After the church burnt down in 1633, a new organ was built by Johann Geissler from Salzburg (II/48).

1820 The gallery was enlarged, the choir organ became inoperable.

1858 - 1862 The organ was rebuilt by Friedrich Haas (IV/70) who settled later in Lucerne.

1898 - 1899 Friedrich Goll, who took over Haas's company, rebuilt the organ and replaced the mechanical action by a pneumatic action.

1972 - 1977 Th. Kuhn AG built a new organ (V/81). The organ case dat-ing from 1650 and 56 old stops dating from 1650 and 1862 were reused. The choir organ was reconstructed.

1999 A capture system was installed with 15 sets of 256 combinations each.

2001 Three free reed stops of Haas (1862) were reinstalled in a separate swell box in the chamber of the echo organ.
