history
The Pflüger Orgelbau company was founded in 1979 by Martin Pflüger (* 1941 in Markgröningen / Baden-Württemberg ), a former employee of the Rieger company , in Feldkirch. The first workshop, which housed the metal pipe workshop, was built in 1981 at Sonnengasse 10a, in 1988 the company moved into the newly built facility at Paspelstraße 22. In 1995, the sole proprietorship, which had previously been known as Martin Pflüger Orgelbau, was established together with Martin Pflüger's sons Bernhard, Hans-Jörg and Michael converted into Pflüger Orgelbau GmbH. From 2001 the management was in the hands of Bernhard (* 1969) and Hans-Jörg Pflüger (* 1971). Today Pflüger organs can be found in Austria, Germany , Switzerland , Italy , Japan , Poland , Belarus , Kazakhstan and Slovakia . In 2015 the company was dissolved.
In terms of sound, Martin Pflüger made the synthesis idea of the Alsatian organ reform the determining factor in his workshop. From the pipe-making and intonation methods of Joseph Birgöntzle - the Alsatian emigrant who fled to Vorarlberg before the French Revolution and became active there - Pflüger was able to establish a connection to the Alsatian-French sound aesthetic and in the construction of the organs in Hauptwerk, Rückpositiv and Schwellwerk Albert Realize Schweitzer's vision of a trinity of pianos .
