The organ was built in 1828 by the Stieffel brothers, sons of Johann Ferdinand Balthasar Stieffell . After the Second World War, the war damage was removed, which was connected with a lasting intervention in the instrument and the destruction of the original substance. In 1994 the organ builder Georg Jann (Allkofen) returned the instrument to its original state, whereby all lost substance (action, console, whistle) was reconstructed using other organs from Stieffel , and the instrument was again given a bellows system with 6 wedge bellows. The organ does not have an electric fan, but is supplied with wind solely via the bellows, which is operated electrically.

The instrument has a total of 38 registers on three manuals and pedal. It has no pedal couplers, but has two manual slide couplers: On the one hand a coupler II / I and a coupler III / II. When using both links, the 3rd manual is linked through to the 1st manual.
