Alexander Holzhay
Alexander Holzhay (born September 20, 1722 in Rappen near Unteregg , † March 25, 1772 in Tussenhausen ) was an Upper Swabian organ builder . Holzhay learned his trade from Augustin Simnacher in Angelberg , whose daughter he married in 1754. Later he inherited the so-called Untere Schlössle in Angelberg. It is certain that his nephew Johann Nepomuk Holzhay from Ottobeuren completed his apprenticeship with him.
