The St. Franziskus Kirche was heavily damaged during the last World War in 1943. After the war the church was completely rebuilt. Also a new organ was installed. In 1993 Van den Heuvel became the contract for a new three manual organ with 51 stops built according to the French symphonic tradition. | |

The organ has three manual divisions of 58 notes and a Pedal of 30 notes. The Hauptwerk has 14 stops, the Positiv 13 stops, the Schwellwerk also 14 stops and the Pedalwerk 10 stops, altogether 51 stops. No stops of the old organ were used, also the modern style organ case is new and made of European oak. The dedication was on October 19th 1997.

The complete stop list.
The internal layout of the instrument is almost clear when you have a look at the front picture. The Hauptwerk (Great) is in the center of the instrument, behind the Hauptwerk the Schwellwerk (Swell). Both divisions are flanked by the splitted Pedalwerk. On the top of the instrument the Positiv is placed. The free standing console is also made of european oak like the organcase. The keyaction is direct mechanical with electronic couplers. This organ is the first where Van den Heuvel used the proportional coupling system by Syncordia. The electronic stopaction is supplied with a memory system.
