from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jost Friedrich Schäffer (also Schäfer , Schefer or Scheffer ) (* before 1642 probably in Kirchheilingen ; † August 4, 1723 in Eschwege ) was a German Baroque organ builder who worked in Northern Hesse .

Life

Schäffer came from near Langensalza and probably learned organ building from his father Justus. Before 1667 he was an organ builder in Langensalza. In 1677 he settled in Eschwege while building a new organ and introduced Thuringian organ building in Hesse. Two of his daughters were baptized in Eschwege: on January 13, 1679 Beate Elisabeth and on November 11, 1680 Anna Rosina. After Schäffer's wife Maria Juliana died on April 26, 1684, he married Elisabeth Margretha, daughter of Bernhard Nagels from Levern, on December 1, 1685 .

His son Johann Friedrich Schäffer also became an organ builder.
