Euler brothers

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Euler brothers were a German organ building company based in Gottsbüren that was active in the second half of the 19th century.

Life

The brothers Friedrich Wilhelm (born September 7, 1827 in Gottsbüren; † January 21, 1893 in Gottsbüren) and Heinrich Ludwig Euler (born January 5, 1837 in Gottsbüren; † September 16, 1906 in Gottsbüren) were the sons of the organ builder Balthasar Conrad Euler born and descended from a respected organ building dynasty. In September 1854 the father officially handed over the management of the company to his two sons, but only withdrew from the management in 1858. Under the name “Gebr. Euler ”, as joint owners, they led the workshop to a new boom and in 1878 were appointed royal court organ builders.

Conrad Friedrich Carl Euler (= Conrad II.) Took over the workshop after the death of his father Friedrich Wilhelm, while his uncle Heinrich Ludwig withdrew. In 1910, Conrad II moved the business to Hofgeismar , where it was continued by his son Friedrich Wilhelm Heinrich (1905 - 1970) and then by his grandson Friedemann Euler (* 1939). The family company existed in Hofgeismar until the end of the 20th century and, with a total of twelve generations, was Germany's oldest organ building company .

In 1995 the organ builder Elmar Krawinkel took over the former Euler workshop, but moved his business to Trendelburg - Deisel in 2000 .

plant

Euler's field of activity was initially concentrated on the organ landscape in southern Lower Saxony , but from around 1880 onwards it extended to eastern Westphalia and northern Hesse. The company stuck with the mechanical sliding drawer for a long time . A pneumatic box drawer was patented around 1890 . The descendants of the Euler brothers later switched to the pneumatic membrane drawer and finally turned back to the mechanical sliding drawer.
