Barnim Gruneberg
Barnim Grüneberg (born December 27, 1828 in Stettin , † August 22, 1907 in Stettin; full name Karl Barnim Theodor Grüneberg ) was a German organ builder .
Life
Barnim Grüneberg came from a family of organ builders who worked in Brandenburg an der Havel , Magdeburg and Stettin . His father August Wilhelm Grüneberg was an organ builder there. The brother Hermann Grüneberg was an important chemist and entrepreneur.
After the early death of the father in 1837, the business was initially closed. Barnim Grüneberg studied from 1843 to 1847 with Carl August Buchholz in Berlin, a distant relative. Then in 1848 he went to Friedrich Haas in Lucerne, to Kyburz in Solothurn, to Salzburg, then to the famous Aristide Cavaillé-Coll in Paris, Vienna and London. From 1849 to 1853 he was a journeyman with Eberhard Friedrich Walcker in Ludwigsburg.
In 1854 Barnim Grüneberg returned to Stettin, where he reopened his father's organ building workshop at Grosse Domstrasse 24 (today ul. Farna). He made it one of the most important and productive German organ workshops of its time.
Grand Duke Friedrich Wilhelm II of Mecklenburg-Strelitz awarded him the title of court organ builder in 1893 . Barnim Grüneberg was a founding member of the Association of German Organ Builders and a member of the Johannisloge "Friedrich Wilhelm zur Liebe und Treue" in Demmin .
In 1905 his son Felix (Johannes) Grüneberg and his brother Georg took over the father's workshop and moved it to Finkenwalde in 1906. Felix lived there from 1910 to 1945 in the Grüneberg Villa . In 1933 Opus 1000 was celebrated. Production ended in 1945.
Organ building
Barnim Grüneberg was the most important organ builder in Pomerania in the 19th century. His organ building institute was one of the most productive of its time. The instruments were delivered to Mecklenburg and Brandenburg, and under his sons to Russia and Africa.
The instruments initially had slide chests and mechanical action , later cone chests and finally a pneumatic action. For the first time he built into the organ in Neustrelitz “a roll sill with which that stepless crescendo and diminuendo can be produced, which is a feature of the symphonic orchestral organ of the German late romantic era” .
Barnim Grüneberg built the largest organ of its time in Libau , with 131 stops on four manuals and pedal . To this day it is the largest manually operated organ in the world. His 450th work (opus) was the cathedral organ in Ratzeburg in 1902 .
Work (selection)
Barnim Grüneberg created over 450 new organs and conversions, mainly in Pomerania , but also in Mecklenburg , Brandenburg and other places. Larger and some smaller organs up to 1906 are listed. A detailed list contains further instruments. Later buildings by the organ building institute B. Grüneberg are given by Felix Grüneberg . Organs that are no longer available are in italics .
