The first organ of the new parish church was taken over from the former church of the community. It was a single-manual, late baroque instrument by Ferdinand Stieffell from Rastatt, which was built in 1778/1779. The case of the Stieffel organ has been in the St. Maria Church in Bühl-Kappelwindeck since 1901 at the latest.
New building by Schwarz in 1895
In 1895 this organ was replaced by a new one by Wilhelm Schwarz from Überlingen . In 1917 pipes were removed for war purposes. With its 22 stops, the organ was very modest for the large church.
New building by Schwarz in 1928
In 1928 the delivery and installation took place by the Schwarz workshop, which is now managed by Wilhelm Schwarz's son Friedrich Wilhelm. Pneumatic pocket drawers were used as the system. Schwarz ordered the entire organ from EFWalcker & Cie in Ludwigsburg and installed it in Bühl.
The large disposition clearly shows elements of the organ reform in addition to highly romantic voices. The Bühler senior teacher Otto Greule († 1970) helped Baden's largest Catholic church organ at the time to achieve national fame, particularly through its concertante performance.
In 1948 the organ was repaired after war damage.
Shutdown by Rieger in 1976
In the 1970s, people were no longer satisfied with pneumatics. Instead of replacing the worn leather parts, the decision was made to build a new organ. This was carried out in 1976 by the Rieger Orgelbau company from Schwarzach. The neo-baroque organ with 47 voices was used as a choir organ in the crossing . At the express request of Josef von Glatter-Götz, the old Schwarz organ remained in the gallery and was shut down.
In the spring of 2008, a support association for the preservation of the organ was founded at the current location.
