Gustav Rassmann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gustav Josef Heinrich Raßmann (born August 27, 1833 in Möttau , † December 22, 1906 in Wiesbaden ) was a German organ builder .

Life

Gustav Raßmann probably received his training in the workshop of his father Daniel Raßmann . In 1860 his father took over the business.

In 1896 he sold the workshop to his first journeyman August Hardt (1861–1946). Raßmann initially continued to sign the contracts while Hardt carried out the work. The von Orgelbau Hardt family is the fourth generation to run the workshop.

plant

Over 20 new instruments come from his workshop, mainly for village churches. In addition, there are conversions, repairs and maintenance services. From 1884 he mainly built cone shops , but did not give up the construction of grinding shops entirely.

Raßmann only built organs with one or two manuals , which usually have between eight and 14 registers . Only the organ in Holzappel, which was a gift from the patron at the time, has 16 stops.

Most of its organs are still preserved, some have been rearranged over time.
