Johann Dietrich Kuhlmann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Dietrich Kuhlmann (* around 1775 ; † 1846 ) was a German organ builder. He worked in Gottsbüren as the son-in-law and successor to Johann Stephan Heeren .

life and work

Kuhlmann got to know Johann Stephan Heeren's family business as an employee. Together with him he created the organ in Adelebsen around 1800 . After the death of Heeren's son-in-law Johann Friedrich Euler in 1795, Kuhlmann married Heeren's daughter Anna Elisabeth. Heeren's son Johann Christoph worked in the workshop in the last years of his father's life and took over the workshop together with Kuhlmann in 1804. As a result, the company was now called "Heeren et Kuhlmann". When Heeren's grandson Balthasar Conrad Euler started the business around 1815, it was renamed “Euler and Kuhlmann”. His son Georg Carl Kuhlmann was also an organ builder and can be traced back to Westphalia with a few new organs. Johann Dietrich Kuhlmann worked mainly in the organ landscape of southern Lower Saxony . The family business was relocated to Hofgeismar in 1910 and continued well into the 20th century. He is considered the oldest organ building company in Germany.
