Johann M. Kauffmann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Marcellinus Kauffmann (born July 25, 1910 in Vienna ; † May 21, 1965 there ) was an Austrian organ builder . He is sometimes confused with his grandfather Johann Marcell Kaufmann (sic), (actually Marcellin Johann, born June 1, 1849 Stadtlauringen in Bavaria / Germany, † September 9, 1906 in Vienna) because of the same first name .

Life

Kauffmann came from an organ building dynasty that had been active in Vienna- Fünfhaus since 1877 . With his wife Wilhelma, geb. Kaukol, he had the sons Hans, Markus and Gottfried, all three of whom also worked (at least for a short time) as organ builders in the family business, as well as the young deceased son Norbert. Gottfried finally made a career as a folk actor, cabaret artist and book author under the name Götz Kauffmann . Hans continued to run the business after his father passed away, and with his death the family tradition ended after 120 years.

Johann M. Kauffmann and his family were buried in the Baumgartner Friedhof (group K1, number 75) in Vienna.

The draft of their free pipe prospectus comes from the then cathedral master builder Kurt Stögerer. The later cathedral organist Peter Planyavsky shut down the Kauffmann organ for liturgical and artistic reasons - this had already triggered severe criticism from specialist circles at the time of its construction and afterwards - and initiated the construction of the new cathedral organ in the right aisle.

Some of the more than 100 Kauffmann organs are also in China, Egypt, Italy (Aquileia), Togo (Lomé) and Croatia (Split).

To save the giant organ in St. Stephen's Cathedral, a committee was formed on October 2, 2010, which mainly consists of the organ builder's children and grandchildren. On this day it was 50 years since the organ was consecrated.
