Johann Stephan Heeren
Johann Stephan Heeren (baptized June 26, 1729 in Gottsbüren ; † June 10, 1804 in Höxter ) was a German organ builder.
Life
Johann Stephan Heeren was the most important representative of the organ builder dynasty in Gottsbüren, which was founded by Joachim Kohlen (1598–1676) and continued by his son David Kohlen (1640–1737) and grandson Stephan Kohl (1687–1758). Johann Stephan Heeren was the grandson of Anna Kohlen and the newcomer Christoph Heeren. On June 26, 1729, he was baptized as the son of David Heeren. When Heeren took over the company, it initially continued to operate under the name “Kohlen”. In 1765 he moved to Barntrup , but returned to Gottsbüren in the 1770s and was appointed a privileged court organ builder by Landgrave Friedrich II. Heeren. Not his eldest son Friedrich David Heeren (* October 24, 1769; † July 12, 1846) continued the business, but his son Johann Christoph (* April 3, 1775 in Gottesbüren). Heeren's daughter Anna Elisabeth married Johann Friedrich Euler on December 7, 1784 (April 19, 1759 - June 18, 1795). In the last years of his father's life, Johann Christoph worked in the workshop and took it over after his death, together with his brother-in-law Johann Dietrich Kuhlmann. The company was renamed "Heeren et Kuhlmann". After Euler's early death, Johann Dietrich Kuhlmann (around 1775–1846) married the widow and took over the workshop in 1804. Heeren's grandson Balthasar Conrad Euler joined the company from around 1815, which has now been renamed "Euler and Kuhlmann". His descendants continued the family business that existed in Hofgeismar until the 20th century and, with a total of twelve generations, is the oldest organ building company in Germany.
plant
The smaller pointed towers that directly flank the larger central tower are typical of Heeren's design. In 1756/57, instead of the usual central flat fields, Heeren designed small side pipe fields in the Zierenberg town church, which lead to the pedal towers.

- ↑ The Protestant congregation in Beverungen was only founded in 1854, and its church was not even built until 1866. The organ case in the local Catholic church , however, dates from around 1700. It is therefore unclear where Heeren should have built an organ here. - A repair or rebuilding of the organ in the Catholic Church would be conceivable.
