Bernhard Dreymann

Bernhard Dreymann (born June 27, 1788 in Beckum , Westphalia, † January 10, 1857 in Fenain , northern France) was a German organ builder .

Life

Dreymann was born in Westphalia. He received training as an organ builder from his father, Johann Hermann Dreymann (1759–1833), an organ builder and organist. After the usual years of traveling he came to Mainz in 1821 and worked for the workshop of the organ maker Franz Xaver Ripple, who had died in 1808. In 1823 he took over the workshop and customer base from Ripple's widow.

In the following years he gained an excellent reputation as an organ builder because he succeeded in combining the traditions of his craft with the newly emerging, romantic sound aesthetics. He created important instruments in the region, for example in Mainz / Sankt Ignaz, Beerfelden / Odenwald, Dudenhofen, Eich / Rheinhessen or Bad Homburg- Ober-Erlenbach , but was also active abroad. In Brussels, for example, he created the organ of the palace chapel (1840) and the organ of the Notre Dame aux Riches Claires (1846), and in Antwerp the organ of the Protestant Church (1846). In 1855 his son Hermann Dreymann took over the organ workshop, in which he continued to work.

In 1857 Dreymann was injured while building an organ in the parish church of St. Andrè zu Fenain in northern France and died of subsequent blood poisoning . Dreymann's father and son built around 70 organs with a total of over 1000 registers.
