Johann Georg Bürgy (born July 25, 1771 in Homburg before the height , † October 27, 1841 in Gießen ) was a German organ builder in the area of ​​Central Hesse.

Life

Bürgy was born in 1771 as the seventh son of the organ builder Johann Conrad Bürgy . He learned his trade with Jacob Courtain in Osnabrück and settled in Gießen after stays in Austria and Hungary . There he married the daughter of Johann Peter Rühl, the son-in-law and successor of Johann Andreas Heinemann, in 1809 . Together with his brother Philipp Heinrich and later alone, he ran an organ building business. He died in Giessen in 1841. His pupil was Johann Georg Förster , who completed Bürgy's last new organ in Gettenau.

List of works

The uniform Biedermeier style of the prospectus is characteristic of the organs of the Bürgy brothers . The seven-axis prospectus is structured by wide pilaster strips . A wide, low, protruding flat pipe field in the middle is crowned by a handle vase. Outside there are two high round towers with five pipes each, each of which has two narrow, low harp fields with three pipes each. There are small urns on the harp fields that rise to the round tower. Side veil is missing.
