Life

Johann Tobias Turley was born as the son of the white baker Johann Friedrich Turley (1728–1783). After the early death of his father, he learned the same trade at the request of his mother. In 1793 he became a citizen and master baker in Treuenbrietzen. Turley was self-taught in organ building and created the first organ in the village church in Brachwitz in 1796 .

In 1814 he gave up the bakery trade and turned entirely to organ building. From 1816 he received his first orders from the Potsdam government, for example for Hohenbruch. The organ expert and organist in Neuruppin Friedrich Wilke advised him to give the metal plates for the organ pipes the same area by means of a rolling and stretching machine that was to be developed. Turley invented a suitable rolling machine for pipe production and had it manufactured by the Royal Prussian Iron Foundry in Berlin . He used the invention for the first time in his organ building in the Kreuzkirche in Joachimsthal and in Blankenburg (1817).

Johann Tobias Turley was married twice. On October 31, 1793 he married Maria Louise Bergmann from Treuenbrietzen, who died in 1808. His second wife was Marie Elisabeth Plötz, a divorced tailor's daughter from Wittbrietzen , whom he married on May 4, 1809. The son Johann Friedrich Turley II learned organ building from his father and gave him a hand in the last years of his life.
