Abbey and basilica Ottobeuren

Ottobeuren Abbey has one of the richest music programs in Bavaria, with concerts every Saturday.
Most concerts feature one or more of the Abbey's famous organs. The old organ, the masterpiece of French organbuilder Karl Joseph Riepp (1710-1775), is actually a double organ; it is one of the most treasured historic organs in Europe.

It was the main instrument for 200 years, until 1957 when a third organ was added by G. F. Steinmeyer & Co, renovated and augmented in 2002 by Johannes Klais, making 100 stops available on five manuals (or keyboards).
