Emil Kaltschmidt

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl August Emil cold Schmidt (also Emil cold Schmidt jun. * 1840 , † 1909 / 10 ) was a German organ builder in Szczecin .

Life

Emil was a son of the organ builder Friedrich Wilhelm Kaltschmidt in Stettin. He initially worked in his workshop and is said to have built his first own organ in Bergholz in Western Pomerania in 1864 . In 1872 he took over the management of the company in Stettin-Grünhof, Pöhlitzerstraße 18 and built an organ in Passow in the Uckermark , in 1875 he created the organ for the New Synagogue in Stettin and around 1880 a four-manual instrument for the Marienkirche in Anklam .

In 1909 Emil Kaltschmidt was mentioned for the last time. He was married to Marie Henriette Gröpler († February 14, 1899). One son was probably Julius Kaltschmidt, who was known as an organ builder from 1911.
