Friedrich Wilhelm Winzer

Friedrich Wilhelm Winzer (* March 8, 1811 in Mellenbach ; † March 2, 1886 in Wismar ) was a German master organ builder .

Life

Friedrich Wilhelm Winzer received his artistic training from Johann Friedrich Schulze in Paulinzella and was also his employee for several years. He also worked on the organs in Halberstadt and Wismar , where he settled in 1840.

Winzer was guided by the then progressive principles of the organ building theorist Johann Gottlob Töpfer , a friend of Franz Liszt . In 1843 the organ of the town church in Brüel was built . In 1847 he built the organ of St. Laurentius in Schönberg (Mecklenburg) and in the same year also repaired the Arp Schnitger organ in Lübeck Cathedral . He carried out further repair work in 1857 on the organ of the village church in Hohen Luckow , in 1859 in Belitz and in 1869 in the village church in Kalkhorst .

The organ in the Weitendorf Castle Church

One of the first organs in Friedrich Wilhelm Winzer's work was built in the Castle Church in Weitendorf (Laage) , which was rebuilt at the time . This was only discovered in 2008 when the organ was restored by the Orgelbau Weitendorf company from Schwaan . One reason for the late discovery is certainly that Winzer avoided attaching company signs or making other markings inside the organ. Thus, an assignment could only be made on the basis of Winzer's specific characteristics. In the case of the Weitendorfer Schlosskirche organ, this was the design of the pipes and details in the action, which are typical for winemakers.

pipework

All metal pipes still have their inner coating with the solder protection paint. Like his teacher Johann Friedrich Schulze from Paulinzella and Johann Heinrich Runge (I), who had also learned from Schulze, all metal pipes were consistently inscribed on the upper labium with ink. However, unlike Runge, Winzer did not identify the octave position.

windchest and action

All windchests Winzers are made of oak. Either the loop is leather-covered or the upper side of the windchest is equipped with a leather bed. Spanish riders did not use winemakers. Like Johann Heinrich Runge, Winzer only built fully mechanical organs. In his tone action, Winzer used beech angles in his earlier works. In his later works he switched to sheet metal angles in beech bearings.
