from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jochim Christoph Kaltschmidt (also Johann Christoph Kaltschmidt ; * 1746 ; † 1819 ) was a German organ builder in Lübeck .

Life

Jochim Christoph Kaltschmidt was born in 1746 and mentioned in Wismar in 1776 . Since 1782 he was active in repairs on organs in Lübeck and Ratzeburg , which he usually gave an equal tuning . Since 1798 he has been listed in the Lübeck address books under the address Beckergrube 208, as a brewer and organ builder, later also a piano maker and tuner. His name is given there as Joh. Christoph Kaltschmidt . Since such a second organ builder of this name is otherwise unknown in Lübeck, it must be the same. In 1818 he was recorded for the last time in Lübeck, in 1821 a widow Jochim Kaltschmidt lived at his address .
