Joachim Christoph Mandischer (born April 16, 1774 in Lübeck ; † May 3, 1860 ibid) was a German organist and the last Lübeck council musician .

Life

He was the son of the council musician and tower keeper of the Marienkirche Christoph Meinhard Mandischer (1742–1796). He probably received his education from his father. In 1791 he became organist of the Aegidienkirche and in 1796, after the death of his father, council musician and tower keeper of the Marienkirche. Since the late 17th century, the position of organist at St. Aegidien was linked to that of a council musician. When the Lübeck music system was reorganized in 1815, Mandischer was one of the four remaining council musicians and retained the title and remuneration for life. Like all council musicians, he was well versed on various instruments and was considered an excellent cellist . As such he took part in the 1818 Spiritual Music Festival in Hamburg. He remained organist at the Aegidienkirche until his retirement in 1856. At his death in 1860 he was the last council musician. His apartment was in the old Marienwerkhaus on the Marienkirchhof ( MQ 213).

Various musical instruments from his estate came into the collection of the Lübeck Museum (now in the St. Annen Museum ), including an ivory zinc that had been in the possession of the council musician family for generations. Hermann Jimmerthal noted that Mandischer have regularly blown on Saturday evening at 9 am on the prongs from the tower . Mandischer had maintained the centuries-old traditions of tower blowing and playing with prongs until the 1850s.
