Organ builder family Grüneberg in Szczecin

Friedrich Georg Grüneberg had been running an organ building workshop in Stettin at Grosse Domstrasse 795 (24) (today ul. Farna, the house was destroyed in 1945) since 1782 . His son August Wilhelm and grandson Barnim also worked there, the latter as the most important organ builder in the Baltic Sea region in his time.

Grüneberg-Villa until 1945

From 1906 to 1912 a new organ building institute was built in Finkenwalde near Stettin at Langen Strasse 61. This had a large assembly hall and several workshops. In 1908, the city architect Adolf Stahl designed an Art Nouveau villa for the family as a residential building, which was completed in 1910 (or 1911/12). According to the memories of the grandson, there was also a rich cultural life with receptions.

In 1945 the Grüneberg family left Stettin.
