life and work

Heinrich Schaper was born the son of Christoph Schaper and was baptized on November 16, 1802. With whom he learned organ building is unknown and so far cannot be determined through stylistic comparisons. Schaper started his own business as an organ builder in Alfeld in 1833 and moved the workshop to Hildesheim in 1844. In the traditional way he built organs exclusively with slide chests and mechanical action . Schaper created a total of 52 new organs. In addition, there are extensions, rescheduling and repairs. His son August Schaper took over the company around 1875.
