Haupt (organ builder)

Haupt is a German family of organ builders from the 19th and early 20th centuries who made organs in western Lower Saxony and the Dutch province of Overijssel .

Life

(Friedrich) Wilhelm Haupt (born April 16, 1802 in Osterholz-Scharmbeck ; † 1862 or 1863) was born as the son of the excise collector Johann Philipp Haupt and his wife Christine Dorothea. Frisians born. From 1823 he learned organ building from Gerhard Janssen Schmid in Oldenburg , but left him after just one year. In 1827 he started his own business in Damme . His younger brother Carl Haupt (* 1810; † February 10, 1898 in Ostercappeln ) joined the company in 1844, which has since been known as “Gebr. Haupt ”was named. When the company went bankrupt, the brothers separated and Carl Haupt became the sole owner from 1859 to 1875. He moved the workshop to Ostercappeln, where it flourished. During this time, his son Rudolf Haupt (1842–1913) became the owner.

When his father died, Rudolf Haupt took over sole management of the company and moved it to Osnabrück . His son Karl Haupt continued the workshop until shortly after the Second World War. The company archive was destroyed in the Second World War.

plant

The main organs represent the sound of the German-Romantic organ style. Architecturally, the prospectuses are shaped by historicism .

In Germany, only a few instruments from Haupt have been preserved, which have usually undergone major renovations. In contrast, the Dutch organs in Markelo (1863) and Borne (1884) are largely in their original state of preservation. The plant in Rieste , St. John the Baptist, was also saved from change.
