Ernst Julius Marx (often Ernst Marx ; born November 28, 1728 in Ballenstedt , Principality of Anhalt-Bernburg , † March 25, 1799 in Berlin , Kingdom of Prussia ) was an important German organ builder in Berlin. He worked in the tradition of Joachim Wagner .

Life

The father George Christoph Marx was a master carpenter in Ballenstedt. Ernst Marx had been employed in Johann Peter Migendt's workshop in Berlin since 1753/55 at the latest . It is questionable whether he lived to see Joachim Wagner , who died in 1749. Marx worked together with Migendt ( in company ) and in 1756 married a sister of his wife, Maria Louisa Balke.

After the death of Peter Migendt in 1767, he continued to run the workshop alone. Students included Johann Simon Buchholz , son-in-law Johann Friedrich Falckenhagen , and son Friedrich Emanuel Marx , who took over the workshop after his father's death in 1799.

Ernst Julius Marx was the youngest of the organ builders who continued the tradition of Joachim Wagner (even if he should not have met him personally) and who passed it on to his students.
