Blasius Lehmann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Blasius Lehmann (* before 1483, † around 1543 in Bautzen ) was a German organ builder from Bautzen, who mainly worked in Saxony .

Life

Lehmann learned organ building from Burkhard Dinstlinger and built a large and a small organ with him in the Wittenberg Castle Church during his time as a journeyman around 1495 and the cathedral organ in Bautzen with Dinstlinger from 1499 to 1502. Together with his teacher, he conveyed southern German-Italian influences on Saxon organ building.

Lehmann went into business for himself as an organ builder in Bautzen and gained a good reputation and high standing. In 1511, he was commissioned to build an organ by the Leipzig Thomas organist Johann Scharnagel from Wunsiedel. The remuneration of 500 guilders speaks in favor of building a new medium-sized instrument with two manuals and a pedal. He was court organist and court organ builder of the Brandenburg Elector Joachim I and stayed at his court from 1516 to 1519. Lehmann later moved to Leipzig. An Anton (ius) Lehmann from Bautzen was probably his son. He repaired the organ in Danzig in 1547 and the organ in Zwickau in 1548. After 1543 Blasius Lehmann can no longer be traced.
