Life

Bohl learned the carpentry trade from his father . Then he went to Neresheim to Johann Michael Schultes (1776-1858) to specialize in the profession of organ builder. He then worked with Josef Wirth (1760–1819) in Augsburg and with Franz Xaver Peiffer (before 1821 – after 1827) in Göggingen . In 1827 he was granted a license as a piano and organ builder in Augsburg, which he returned in 1873. Johannes Offner (1846–1887) continued his workshop. At Bohl, among others, Philipp Bichler (1821-1893) learned the trade of organ builder.

Bohl preferred parapet organs and usually designed his brochures in a classical style. In addition to the sliding drawer , he built the cone drawer as early as 1853 , which was initially used as a pedal drawer . Characteristic are flute stops in different designs.
