Neo-Gothic prospectus draft by Dreymann (1858)

Hermann Dreymann (born March 1, 1824 in Mainz , † September 15, 1862 in Langenschwalbach ) was a German organ builder .

Life

In 1855 Hermann Dreymann acquired his father Bernhard Dreymann's organ building workshop in Mainz for 3,000 guilders . Two weeks after the inauguration of his organ in Kirdorf on August 31, 1862, Dreymann died of pulmonary tuberculosis and outlived his father by only five years. The organ building company was taken over by Finkenauer & Embach and given up in 1877 due to growing competitive pressure.

Dreymann is part of the romantic organ building. He created his technically dignified works preferably behind neo-Gothic prospectuses . Compared to the limited pedal range of his father, he designed pedal keyboards with 27 keys (C – d 1 ) for larger two-manual instruments . As a sonic innovation, he introduced the divided register Basson / Hautbois on the second manual . In the few years as an independent organ builder, 17 new organs were built, which had a total of around 218 registers . The high productivity is explained by standardized cases and organ parts as well as an efficient division of labor in the workshop. The main focus of Dreymann's activities was the Mainz area. Individual works were created in France ( Fenain ) and Belgium ( Woubrechtegem ).
