Until 2015 there was an organ in the church , which was built in 1907 by the organ builder Voit and reorganized and expanded in the 1960s by the organ builder Pfaff ( Überlingen ). In 2016 the organ building company Klais ( Bonn ) built a new instrument; in the course of this, the original gallery from 1906, which had meanwhile been considerably expanded and which last spanned almost half the length of the nave, was restored. The disposition and sound of the new slider chest instrument are based on organs, as they were common in Baden when the church was built. It has 24  stops on two manual works and a pedal . The game actions are mechanical, the stop actions are electric.
