Dietrich Christoph Gloger

Dietrich Christoph Gloger (* around 1705 in Burgdorf ; † 1773 in Stade ) was a German organ builder in Stade.

Life

Gloger was the son of the organ builder Johann Heinrich Gloger (around 1670–1732) and, like his brothers Gottfried Heinrich Gloger and Johann Wilhelm Gloger, also learned the organ trade. In 1720 and 1721 he is documented as an assistant to his father. From 1730 to 1731 he was a journeyman principal of Erasmus Bielfeldt and was later his successor. He worked four decades as an organ builder in Stade (1733–1773). On July 9, 1734, Gloger became a citizen of Stade and married the widow of Nathanael Krusewitz, a pupil of Arp Schnitger, for the first time . There Gloger continued Krusewitz's workshop, who had taken it over from Schnitger in 1719. Gloger died as a respected citizen of Stade and was buried on February 14, 1773 in St. Wilhadi .

plant

Gloger's new organs concentrate on the organ landscape between the Elbe and Weser rivers . His organs are all individual and quite different in structure and disposition, as Gloger was exposed to different stylistic influences. The time of sensitivity was particularly influential . Four Gloger organs are still largely preserved. Since Gloger's master teacher Bielfeldt was apprenticed to Schnitger's student Matthias Dropa , he took over Schnitger's workshop in Stade and continues his tradition, Gloger can be added to the school of Arp Schnitger. In addition, Gloger was entrusted with the maintenance of numerous Schnitger instruments and was thus well acquainted with their construction. Cornelius Geerds Wallies and Johann Matthias Schreiber were apprentices at Gloger.
