Max Emil Albert Kienscherf (born July 31, 1859 in Eberswalde ; † May 3, 1928 there ) was a German organ builder .

Live and act

He was born as the son of the organ builder Friedrich Kienscherf (1818–1890) in Eberswalde. He had been a student of Carl August Buchholz in Berlin and had founded a workshop in Eberswalde in 1851. Albert took over this with his brother Hermann as H. and A. Kienscherf . The brothers Friedrich Rudolph Paul (* February 1, 1858) and Bernhard Gustav Richard (* September 16, 1867; † March 30, 1942) also worked there for a time. The latter then ran an instrument shop in his father's house as the last representative of the family.

In 1928 Karl Gerbig (born February 6, 1888; † January 17, 1971), who was a student and worked for many years, took over the company as A. Kienscherf Nachf., Inh . In 1965 it was continued by Ulrich Fahlberg as the Eberswalder organ building workshop and has existed since 2005 by Harry Sander and Andreas Mähnert.

Albert Kienscherf was married to Berta Fielitz (born June 23, 1869, † August 9, 1930). He is buried with her at the Eberswalde forest cemetery.
