Joseph Bittner

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joseph Bittner (born June 2, 1822 in Hilpoltstein , † April 28, 1908 in Eichstätt ) was a German organ builder .

Life

Joseph Bittner was a member of the extensive organ building family Bittner . His father was Franz Joseph Bittner (1780–1863), his brother Max Bittner (1809–1870).

Joseph Bittner had lived in Eichstätt since 1852. Occasionally he also worked in the Upper Palatinate. His sons Joseph Franz (1852–1915) and Karl (1866– after 1935) were also organ builders. Joseph Franz took over the Nuremberg company of Augustin Ferdinand Bittner junior in 1880. Joseph Bittner also lived temporarily in Nuremberg and worked in the son's business. Therefore, the exact assignment of his instruments is sometimes difficult. In 1897 Joseph Franz moved the company to Eichstätt.
