Life

Georg Christian Gottfried Schade was born in 1761 in the Electorate of Hanover at the time of the personal union between Great Britain and Hanover . In the city of Hanover, he initially worked as an organist at the then garrison church before he was elected organist of the Hanoverian market church on September 12, 1800 . There he played in the tower room on the organ presumably built in the 17th century, which was later rebuilt and destroyed during the air raids on Hanover in World War II.

On April 1, 1838, Schade celebrated his 50th anniversary in service, for which he was given a large concert in the Marktkirche, conducted by the composer Heinrich Marschner . The jubilee himself played a fugue on the organ as well as a varied chorale that he had originally composed when he took up his post.
