Business advertisement in the Saxon official calendar 1917

The company Hermann Eule Orgelbau Bautzen was founded on January 26th, 1872 as an organ building company and thus succeeded a long organ building tradition in Bautzen, which has been documented since the 16th century.

history

The company was founded by Hermann (August) Eule (1846–1929), son of the instrument maker Carl August Eule. From 1864 to 1868 he was an apprentice to Leopold Kohl in Bautzen and before 1872 worked as a journeyman with Carl I Voigt in Halberstadt and with Balthasar Schlimbach in Würzburg. When Hermann died, his daughter Johanna (1877–1970) continued the business, as the only son Georg had died in 1918. Her adopted son Hans owl took over in 1957, the company of his mother and led it until 1971. After the death of her husband Hans owl, Ingeborg Eule (1925-2017) led the company through difficult times: In 1972 was the previously with state participation working Company expropriated. But "because the organ builders brought foreign currency to the state, Ingeborg Eule had good cards for negotiations." The company initially operated under the name VEB Orgelbau Bautzen , the family name was added later.

In 1990 the company was reprivatised. Organ builder Armin Zuckerriedel (* 1942) was the managing director from 1987 to 2005, Ingeborg's granddaughter Anne-Christin Eule since 2006 and Jiří Kocourek since 2008, who handed it over to Dirk Eule, husband of Anne-Christin Eule, in 2013. Jiří Kocourek has been the artistic director since then , the organ builder Christoph Kumpe has been the technical director, has been with the company since 1978 and has worked as a designer and workshop manager for years.

Ingeborg Eule received the Saxon Order of Merit in 2006 - “also for having managed to save parts of the organ from the Leipzig University Church of St. Pauli . The university church was blown up in 1968 because it stood in the way of the new university campus. ” Ingeborg Eule died a few days before the inauguration of the concert organ on September 8, 2017 in the Dresden Kulturpalast .

Concert and church organs

Today, in addition to new buildings, historical organs are primarily restored . The company is committed to the great Saxon organ building tradition of Gottfried Silbermann . During the GDR era, a transportable concert organ was developed that could be brought to the venues in a Trabant combination. It was often used instead of a harpsichord for the basso continuo .

The company's founder built 173 organs, including the Bautzen cathedral organ from 1910 with 62 stops on three manuals and pedal as the largest instrument . In Saxony alone, around 400 organs were built by Hermann Eule and his successors, a large number of which have been preserved (as of 2017) . In addition to church organs, the company also produces organs for educational institutions, including the organs in the concert hall of the University of Music and Theater in Leipzig , in the Samuel Rubin Academy of Music in Tel-Aviv (both 2002), the teaching organ at the Mozarteum University in Salzburg ( 2007) and the concert organ in the great hall of the Mozarteum Foundation in Salzburg (2010).
