Johann Dietrich Busch

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Dietrich Busch (born December 27, 1700 in Mesmerode , Wunstorf , † July 18, 1753 in Itzehoe ) was a German organ builder .

Life

Johann Dietrich Busch was probably a pupil of Arp Schnitger . After Schnitger's death in 1719, he continued his work in the workshop of the Itzehoe organ builder Lambert Daniel Kastens , who himself had been Schnitger's master apprentice. From 1728, Busch headed Kastens' workshop in Itzeho, as the latter had meanwhile relocated the headquarters of his workshop to Copenhagen. In 1733 Busch married Katharina Schütte there, who came from Itzehoe and was again Kastens' sister-in-law.

As a self-employed master, Busch mastered organ building in and around Hamburg between 1733 and 1753. Numerous repairs, conversions and maintenance contracts are also documented in the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein as well as in the Oldenburger Land. After his untimely death, his son Johann Daniel Busch took over the workshop and completed the work his father had started in Dybbøl and Højer .
