Johann Gottlob Mende
Johann Gottlob Mende (born August 3, 1787 in Siebenlehn , † August 14, 1850 in Leipzig ) was a German organ builder .
life and work
Mende first made an apprenticeship as a carpenter in Siebenlehn. He learned organ building from Karl Albrecht von Knoblauch in Halle (Saale) and founded his own workshop in Leipzig in 1820. Here he worked from 1821 to 1848 as the last university organ builder.
Mende stood entirely in the tradition of Gottfried Silbermann and created organs in the style of early romanticism. He is considered one of the most important Saxon organ builders in the first half of the 19th century. One of his students was Julius Strobel . Friedrich Ladegast and Conrad Geißler deepened themselves during their traveling years at Mende. Seven of the 23 Mende organs in Saxony have survived.
