Johann Andreas Goll

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Andreas Goll (born October 21, 1751 in Weilheim an der Teck ; † May 2, 1823 there ) was a German organ builder and founder of the Goll organ building dynasty based in Kirchheim unter Teck and Bissingen an der Teck .

From around 1780 to 1810 Goll was based in Weilheim an der Teck , where his most important organ with 23 registers from 1795 is preserved in the Peterskirche. He built another organ in 1786 for the winter church of Maulbronn Monastery , which has been in the Evangelical Church in Rechenberg near Crailsheim since 1893.

Johann Andreas Goll was the progenitor of what would later become the organ building company Goll, which went out around 1910. His son Ludwig Friedrich Goll (1785–1853) also worked as an organ builder. His most important student was Johann Viktor Gruol (the elder).
