Johann Emanuel Pork
Johann Christian Immanuel (also Emanuel, Imanuel, Emmanuel) pork (* May 16, 1721 in Mockern ; † April 18, 1771 ) was a Saxon organ builder at the time of Johann Sebastian Bach .
Life
He learned his trade from 1731 to 1739 from his uncle Tobias Heinrich Gottfried Trost , worked from 1742 to 1743 with Heinrich Nicolaus Trebs and from 1743 to 1746 with Zacharias Hildebrandt . All three were in close contact with Bach, and pork must also have had personal contact with the famous composer. He was involved in the construction of the Trost organ in the Altenburg castle church and the Hildebrandt organ in the Naumburg town church St. Wenzel .
In 1750 Johann Christian Immanuel Schweinfleisch was appointed university organ maker in Leipzig . The two last surviving pork organs are located in the Church of the Resurrection in the Möckern district of Leipzig (oldest organ in the city) and in Böhlitz near Wurzen .
