Hartmut Haupt (born February 20, 1932 in Bonn , † May 20, 2019 in Jena ) was a German organist , organ researcher , organ monument curator, musicologist and non-fiction author . He examined around 1500 organs and documented the organ landscape of Thuringia significantly.

Life

Hartmut Haupt, who grew up in a family with an interest in art, received a basic musical education. Following his natural scientific inclinations, he studied physics at the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena ; his doctoral thesis from 1965 has the title filter structure and particle separation a sub-problem of air filtration . Until 1975 he worked for the pharmaceutical manufacturer Jenapharm in Jena .

Musically, Haupt became an organ student with the city cantor Ernst-Otto Göring, who prepared him for the external B-exam at the Thuringian church music school in Eisenach. Subsequently, Johannes-Ernst Köhler promoted him , so that he passed the A-exam in 1975 at the University of Music in Weimar . In addition to a fee contract with the preservation of monuments , he has since worked as a freelance concert organist, and he has also initiated new concert series on restored organs.

In 1975 Haupt took on the professional task of recording the organ landscape in the former GDR districts of Suhl, Gera and Erfurt on behalf of the Institute for Monument Preservation in Erfurt. His successor in the Thuringian Office for State Monument Preservation was Albrecht Lobenstein in 2010. When recording the organs, Haupt used the “Weilheim Regulatory” as the basis for describing the condition according to uniform criteria.

Hartmut Haupt was closely connected to the Sauer organ in the Volkshaus Jena , which with around 4,800 pipes is one of the largest organs in Thuringia and whose construction cost 1.5 million GDR marks. The organ was built in 1987 to replace the one inaugurated by Max Reger in 1906 - it has 61 registers and a movable console. Haupt played a key role in planning this organ.
