Johann Georg Fischer (organ builder, 1769)
Johann Georg Fischer (* 1769 in Augsburg ; † July 5, 1850 in Klosterneuburg ) was a German - Austrian organ builder.
Life
In 1801, at the age of 32, Fischer applied to the magistrate of the princely city of Klosterneuburg for a settlement permit, which was granted to him on December 15 of the same year, subject to conditions.
In 1805, Provost Gaudenz Dunkler commissioned him to appoint the collegiate music choir on the condition that the organ be cleaned once a year. Fischer kept himself afloat with several minor repairs - including piano repairs - and had trouble looking after his wife Anna and son Johann. He later became an organ builder, but did not take over his father's workshop. In 1814 Fischer received a license to brew coffee and set up a carpenter's workshop. In 1821 he renovated the large monastery organ in Klosterneuburg and from then on called himself "Stiftsorgelbauer".
Within 50 years, Fischer has built only 26 instruments from scratch, a small number compared to the production of competing organ builders.
List of works

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. Italics indicate that the organ in question is no longer preserved.
