Andreas Reinecke

Andreas Reinecke (* between 1675 and 1680 in Eschershausen ; † June 22, 1727 in Beverungen ) was a German organ builder who worked in North Hesse and East Westphalia .

Life

(Michael) Andreas Reinecke and his brother Bernhard (also: Bernd ) (Matthias) Reinecke († May 25, 1731) were born in the second half of the 1670s in the Principality of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel . Probably both learned organ building from Johann Jacob John and maybe even from Andreas Schweimb and later worked with John. There is evidence that Reinecke was involved in John's completion of the large new organ in Riechenberg Monastery (II / P / 39), which Schweimb had begun when John's journeyman. While his brother Bernhard opened a workshop in Rhoden in 1706, Andreas settled in Berndorf in 1710 , where he started a family. Several of Reinecke's children were baptized and buried there, including their daughter Margaretha Lisabeth on May 12, 1715 and their son Johannes on November 13, 1716. The daughter married Georg Kesting in 1731 and died six years later. It is unclear whether Anna Elsa Reinecke, who died in 1721, was his wife or an older daughter. The Reinecke brothers worked together on a number of projects until Bernhard various embezzlements were found and Andreas ended the cooperation in 1725.

plant

Between 1706 and 1717 Andreas Reinecke built several organs with spring shops in northern Hesse and in the adjacent eastern Westphalia . Six organ works are proven, with others his activity is possible or likely. The prospectus of his certified works has only been preserved in the Thalitter mountain church . Reinecke could have been involved in John's four organ buildings in Riechenberg , Hemer , Hardehausen and Brenkhausen monasteries . Together with his brother he conveyed the organ building tradition of the Herbst family and from Schweimb / John to Waldeck .
