Life
Christoph Junge was born in Silesia and grew up in Schweinitz near Jessen ( Wittenberg district ).
The construction (use of a jumping shop and type of wind turbine) and the disposition of his organs suggest that he was a student of Christian Förner .
He suddenly died while building the two organs, in the cathedral and in the merchant's church, in Erfurt.
