Life

Johann Christian Dauphin was a student of Johann Friedrich Wender in Mühlhausen / Thuringia and was recommended for maintenance on his organ in Seligenstadt .

From around 1707 he settled in Kleinheubach, where he married in 1707. In 1714 he was given the supervision of the organs of the county of Erbach .

His greatest work was the three-manual organ for the Walldürn basilica . The probably only largely preserved organ is in the old Catholic parish church of St. Anna in Sulzbach am Main. In addition, some brochures have been preserved.

His brother Johann Eberhard Dauphin was also an organ builder. His son Johann Christian II. (Born June 12, 1713 in Kleinheubach ; † May 8, 1772 in Kleinheubach) and his grandson Johann Christian III. (* January 16, 1752 in Kleinheubach; † May 2, 1792 in Kleinheubach) were also organ builders and continued the workshop. It went out around 1800. |
