Life

He was the son of the carpenter Marcus Detlev Runge, with whom he completed an apprenticeship as a carpenter in 1825. It is not known where he learned organ building, possibly with Johann Friedrich Schulze in Thuringia.

In 1841 Johann Heinrich Runge founded his own organ building workshop in Hagenow, Mecklenburg. In 1843 he directed the installation of an organ in Röbel on behalf of Schulze . His masterpiece and first organ in Hagenow with 24 registers from 1841 he sold to the community in Klinken in 1845 . This was followed by other new organs, mainly in the area, until 1881.

When his father died, his son Marcus Runge was still too young to take over the workshop and worked in Schwerin from 1896.

In 2019 there was an exhibition on the life and work of Johann Heinrich Runge in the Museum Hagenow.

Organs

Johann Heinrich Runge's organs are now considered to be of solid craftsmanship. The main focus was not on the pipes, but rather on the carpentry aspect, following the tradition of Friedrich Schulze, his organs impressed with their diversity. Instead, the weak point was the bellows , which meant that new organs were purchased fairly soon.

Work (selection)

Today 26 new organs by Johann Heinrich Runge are known, especially in western Mecklenburg between Schwerin, Ludwigslust and Hagenow. 14 of them have survived, around half in poor condition.
