Christian Ernst Schöler

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christian Ernst Schöler (born November 14, 1756 in Bad Ems ; † June 25, 1832 ibid.) Was a German organ builder .

Life

Christian Ernst Schöler was born as the son of the organ builder Johann Wilhelm Schöler and his wife Maria Christiana Friederica Werner (1732–1767). He was the only one of four sons to survive childhood. In 1772 he was confirmed in Bad Ems. He learned organ building in his father's workshop. An outside teaching is not proven and unlikely given the same construction principles of father and son. His activity as an organ builder can be verified for the first time in 1774, when he helped with the visitation of the organ in Herschbach , where his father had completed his largest organ. After his father's death in 1793, he took over his organ building workshop in Bad Ems. Later he is in the documents as “Fürstl. Hess.-Darmstädt. Hof Orgelbauer ”. On November 8th 1798 Christian Ernst Schöler married Friede Martina Henrietta Cramer in Mehren (Westerwald) .

Daniel Raßmann deepened his knowledge at Schöler before starting his own business. Schöler's son-in-law Philipp Gottlieb Heil (born September 30, 1793 in Seeheim ; † April 30, 1847 in Bad Ems) himself came from an organ building family and married Schöler's eldest daughter Johannette Wilhelmine in 1825. Schöler died on June 25, 1832 and was buried on June 28 in Bad Ems. After Schöler's death, Philipp Heil took over his company in 1833, but built only gavel pianos with the exception of one organ and otherwise took care of organ maintenance and tuning work. The company went out under Heil in 1837. Schöler's widow died on March 14, 1850.

plant

In addition to conversions, renovations, relocations and repairs, 17 new organs were built by Christian Ernst Schöler. Eight instruments have been preserved in whole or in part. Schöler built three types of organs: a) an organ with seven registers for Schloss Schaumburg , b) 13 organs with 10 to 14 registers and c) two instruments with 16 registers and one organ with an unknown number of registers. All of his organs have a separate pedal . Like his father, Schöler mainly built side-arm balustrade organs . The brochures are characteristic and usually have five axes with a slim central tower. Two outwardly rising harp fields lead over to the lower pointed towers. The side ends are formed by tall rectangular boxes that merge into the parapet. The middle round tower and the two pointed towers stand on consoles .
