history
The organ building workshops Franz Breil were founded in Dorsten in 1836 by Josef Anton Breil. He learned his trade with Fabricius in Grevenbroich / Rhineland, was then a student of Joseph Seyberth in Vienna and then went to Paris , London and Berlin as a journeyman . His brother Johann Anton Breil , who ran a workshop in Regensburg from 1853 to 1892 , learned from him .
Franz Johannes Breil (1828–1903), nephew of the founder, continued the workshop. At the end of the 19th century he switched the wind chest construction from mechanical sliding chests to pneumatic cone chests. His son Franz Josef Breil (1865–1929) introduced electric action in 1925 . From 1948, under Franz Josef Breil's son Franz (1903–1985), the company returned to building mechanical slider drawers.
Franz Ludger Breil (son of Franz Breils) has continued the organ building tradition in Dorsten since the 1980s.
