À propos
The first organ in the present church was a Michel Stiehr (1882) which had been installed in the old Romanesque church since 1815. In 1879 it was dismantled during construction. In 1917, its pipes were requisitioned
In 1931, Georges Schwenkedel moved it to Eckbolsheim and built his Opus 35, a large post-symphonic Alsatian instrument with 34 (real) stops on 3 manuals and pedal. Its inauguration took place in the presence of Canon Joseph Gass.
It was repaired several times in the 70's and again in 2001.
The case is in neo-gothic style
Its specificities: a Sesquialtera, a Cymbal, Mutations, romantic and symphonic components (ch?ur de Fonds, Oboe, Harmonic Flute, Trumpet and Bugle in the recital alla Cavaillé-Coll, Celestial Voice, asserted fundamentals, etc...)
