Johann Claussen Schmid
Johann Claussen Schmid (also: Schmid II ) (born March 6, 1811 in Leer ; † April 11, 1881 ) was a German organ builder who continued the Oldenburg line of the Schmid family and worked mainly in the Oldenburg region .
Life
Johann Claussen Schmid came from a widespread family of organ builders. He was the son of the organ builder Gerhard Janssen Schmid and learned organ building from him after school. After his death in 1845, Johann Claussen Schmid took over the Oldenburg workshop and ran it for a quarter of a century until his own death. His son Johann Martin Schmid continued the family business from 1881.
plant
Johann Claussen Schmid carried out numerous new organs and conversions in the Oldenburg area. In the Oldenburger Land there are more than 50 activities. In accordance with the romantic taste of the time, he made radical changes to the disposition of historical instruments. Most of these measures were reversed in the 20th century by the Alfred Führer company . Schmid created several one-manual village organs with mostly seven registers, but usually two-manual works with less than 20 registers. None of his organs have been completely preserved, but quite a few of his brochures and individual parts. The Schmid organ in Bardewisch is most complete (1859). His instrument is currently being restored in Switzerland (as of June 2011).
List of works (selection)
The size of the instruments is indicated in the fifth column by the number of manuals and the number of sounding registers in the sixth column. A capital “P” stands for an independent pedal, a lowercase “p” for an attached pedal. Italics indicate that the organ in question is no longer available or that only the prospectus has been preserved.
