Carl August Randebrock
Carl August Randebrock (born December 2, 1825 in Recklinghausen , † June 22, 1876 in Paderborn ) was a German organ builder who worked in Lower Saxony, Westphalia and Lippe in the second half of the 19th century.
Life
Carl August Randebrock was the son of the innkeeper Franz Joseph Randebrock and his wife Anna Maria Pennekamp. His brother Eduard (* December 24, 1822, † February 20, 1870) continued his father's business. Randebrock was on December 4, 1825 St. Peter in the name Augustus Conrad Carolus baptized.
He probably completed his training as an organ builder with Wilhelm Kramer in Dülmen. At Franz Wilhelm Sonreck he was in 1851 hired as foreman. When installing the Sonreck organ in the Albaxen church in 1854, he asked the pastor there for a recommendation as an organ builder in the Archdiocese of Paderborn . Soon afterwards he moved to Paderborn and built a successful organ building workshop there. In addition to the orders in the region, he also exported three organs overseas: one instrument went to Detroit, one to Bahia / Brazil, and the third to Sandhurst in Australia. In the period from 1854 to 1876, around 100 organs were built in Randebrock's workshop.
Randebrock had four children with his wife Elisabeth Brake (1836–). When he died in June 1876 after a long illness, the company passed to his nephew Rudolph Randebrock (* 1842 - January 20, 1893), who had previously worked in his uncle's company. He ran the organ building workshop until 1888 and then handed it over to his foreman Carl Tennstädt. Until his death, Rudolph Randebrock worked as a merchant in Recklinghausen.
