The first workshop was founded by Carl Gottlieb Weigle in 1845. By 1879, he had built around 100 organs. Additionally, he carried out conversion and repair works on various organs, such as in 1862 on the Gabler organ of the monastery church in Weingarten. His organs were also exported overseas. In 1880, his son Friedrich Weigle took over the business and relocated the workshop from Stuttgart to Echterdingen in 1888. Before the turn of the century, organs had already been delivered to America, Africa, and Asia. Around 1902, bankruptcy proceedings were initiated against the company, so the large organ for the Gedächtniskirche in Speyer (65 stops) had to be completed not by Weigle but by Steinmeyer.

After Friedrich's death, his sons Friedrich, Karl, Julius, and Gotthold Weigle took over the business; from 1937 onwards, Friedrich Jr. was the sole owner. In collaboration with the harmonium manufacturing company J. & P. Schiedmayer, Weigle developed the so-called Parabrahm organ in 1908, which, in addition to a conventional pipe organ, features an integrated harmonium. The only surviving instrument of this kind is located in Eichwalde near Berlin, after the large (second) Parabrahm organ in Liegnitz had both the harmonium stops and the high-pressure registers removed during a Baroque-style renovation.

In 1958, his son Fritz Weigle took over the business. It was dissolved in 1985.
