The collection of organs is unparalleled throughout the world. In addition to nine types of organs from different periods, it features a large "Rieger organ" (with 5761 pipes and 81 stops) in the concert hall. Blending French and German sound ideals, it is a particularly versatile concert instrument.

Nowadays it is exclusively used by the Performing Arts departments: Drama, Opera, Puppet Theater and Speech Training.
