The Sandtner organ

For five decades the church was only equipped with an electronic instrument. For the anniversary year 2014, a used pipe organ from Orgelbau Sandtner was acquired. It previously stood in the former parish church of St. Josef in the Essen district of Kupferdreh and was inaugurated there on March 19, 1995. On November 23, 2013 this church was profaned .

The organ has 31 sounding stops on two manuals and a pedal . The game and stop action are mechanical. The latter was expanded in Essen to include an electronic typesetting system with electrical register control.
