from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich Maywald (historically Heinrich Meywald ; * 1800 ; † 1853 ) was a German organ builder in Kronstadt in Transylvania .

Life

Heinrich Maywald came from Bernstadt in Silesia (today Bierutów). He was possibly a descendant of the organ builder Johann Christoph Maywald († around 1740) from Wiegandsthal .

In 1833 Meywald was Carl August Buchholz's assistant in building the new organ in the Marienkirche in Frankfurt (Oder) , and from 1836 to 1839 in the Black Church in Kronstadt in Transylvania (then in Hungary). After that he worked as an organ builder in Kronstadt.
