Johann Heinrich Gloger (* around 1670 or 1675 ; † July 1732 in Hann. Münden ) was a German organ builder.

Life

The origin of the family is believed to be in Silesia . Johann Heinrich Gloger had a brother named Christoph Gloger (* October 1665, † December 25, 1733 in Aderstedt (Huy) ), who was also an organ builder and created the organ in Aderstedt.

On August 25, 1701, he married Cathrina Margarete Meyer, the daughter of a goldsmith, in Burgdorf (Hanover region) .

Around 1720 he lived in Göttingen , from 1721 in Northeim .

Eight descendants of Glogers are attested: Johann Wilhelm Gloger , called Wilhelm Gloger (* 1702; † December 11, 1760), was an organ builder. The daughter Catharina Magdalena Gloger (* 1703) died young. Dietrich Christoph Gloger (* between May 1704 and August 1708; † February 14, 1773) was also an organ builder. Anna Rebecca Gloger was born in 1708 or 1709. Gottfried Hinrich Gloger (* 1710; † 1799 in Stiklestad ) helped his father with the work on the Northeimer organ and in 1738 he moved to Norway , where he built the organ in Kongsberg . Georg Ludwig Gloger (* 1714/15) died young. The daughters Sophie Eleonore Gloger (* around 1715/17), also called Sophie Leonore Gloger, and Catrina Dorothea Gloger (* 1720) lived in Northeim until 1742.

Organ St. Sixti, Northeim

He was probably a student of Arp Schnitger .

Around 1709 he and his older brother Christoph renovated the organ of the city church in Hamburg-Harburg .

In the church of St. Sixti in Northeim there was an organ built by the Göttingen organist Paul Germer, who came from Arnstadt . This was on the south side of the church. From 1721 Gloger expanded it and installed it at today's organ location on the west side of the church. At the same time he enlarged it significantly. Before he could finish this organ, he carried out work on the organ of the St. Blasii church in Hann. Münden during which he died. The organ work in St. Sixti was completed in 1734 by his son Wilhelm.
