Johann Heinssen

Johann Nikolaus David Heinssen (also Heinsen or Heinßen ) (born March 6, 1797 in Altona ; † March 6, 1849 in Regensburg ) was a German organ builder .

life and work

Johann Nikolaus David Heinssen came to Regensburg on his wandering and was granted citizenship in 1826. He was the first city organ builder in Regensburg, whose work can also be proven to a large extent in the Upper Palatinate and Lower Bavarian area. He built single-manual organs. These were conservative in their disposition . His prospectus design moved between the late baroque and classical style and mostly shows three rectangular upright fields with a raised central tower. The workshop successor was Johann Anton Breil .
