Detlef Kleuker
Detlef Kleuker (born July 4, 1922 in Flensburg , † February 15, 1988 in Brackwede ) was a German organ builder .
life and work
Hans-Detlef Kleuker, son of a senior teacher from Flensburg, learned organ building from Emanuel Kemper , in whose company he worked from 1947 to 1954. In 1955 he passed the master craftsman examination and started his own business in Brackwede. In three decades he built 350 organs, which were exported to 20 countries and established himself as one of the leading organ building workshops in northern Germany. After the unsuccessful new organ for the Lutheran Church in St. Peter-Ording (1953), on a case charging based fault-prone with electrically controlled sleeve magnet developed Kleuker a weather- and climate-resistant form of the slider chest . Now square tubes made of Pertinax or wood or plywood soaked with synthetic resin were used. He used light metal such as aluminum for the valves and the action . In the early years he worked with rotary loops, later with brass loops, and had various new developments patented. In recent years he has turned more to traditional manufacturing techniques, as the new materials have not proven to be durable.
Stylistically, it was based on the north German baroque organ behind a modern, angular case. The dispositions were rather traditional, often influenced by neo-baroque . He was also in demand as a restorer. In 1986 Siegfried Bäune took over the management of the company, which was converted into a GmbH , as managing director , which went out in 1991/92.
