Jost Sieburg
Jost Sieburg (* around 1605 ; † 1686 ; also Jodokus Sieburg ) was an organ builder from Göttingen who worked between Bremen and Groningen . The organ in Westerhusen (1642–1643) is almost complete, in Sengwarden the prospectus and in Meeden a large part of Sieburg's registers are still preserved.
Life
Sieburg himself testifies that he comes from Göttingen. However, his exact family origin is not clear. Presumably a "Peter von Siborch" is his father who married in to Göttingen. According to an inscription that has now disappeared, Sieburg built an instrument in the St. Stephen's Church (Schortens) in 1640 at the age of 35 , which suggests 1605 as the year of his birth: “ M. Jost Sieborck organ maker zu Wochingen me fecit aetatis suae 35 Anno Christi 1640 ”. His brother Johann Just Sieburg was a citizen and organ builder in Mühlhausen / Thuringia , built an organ in Göttingen from 1617 to 1620 and worked together with Jost in Bremen after 1624. It is not clear whether Johann Siburg , who worked in Göttingen, St. Albani , in 1650 is identical with that brother of Jost Sieburg.
The field of activity expanded from 1624 to Bremen, Oldenburg and the Netherlands. Through relationships with the Aurich court organist Johann Knop, Sieburg may have received commissions in the East Frisian region. In 1675/1676 a Jost Andreas “Sibing” is attested in Hinte , who was possibly his son or nephew.

The size of the instruments is indicated in the fifth column by the number of manuals and the number of sounding registers in the sixth column. A capital “P” stands for an independent pedal, a lowercase “p” for an attached pedal. Italics indicate that the organ in question is no longer preserved.

1640 | Schortens | St. Stephen Church | I. | Largely destroyed when the tower collapsed, but pipe material was integrated into the new building by Joachim Kayser (1686), the prospectus obviously rebuilt | ||

1642 | Aurich | Castle chapel | Reconstruction or rebuilding of the organ, which perhaps goes back to Sieburg; not received | |||
1642-1643 | Westerhusen | Westerhuser Church | I. | 7th | For this instrument Sieburg has apparently taken over parts of a Gothic predecessor organ, which can still be seen on the lower case and some stops. The organ has a powerful, almost harsh sound. The cutting trumpet from the Renaissance period is one of the oldest in the world , along with the organ in Uttum . The strong mixture gives the plenary a brilliance, which is supported by the pure thirds mood . So the instrument could serve to accompany the congregation singing. This practice of song accompaniment was not introduced in East Friesland until 1640. The restoration by Jürgen Ahrend (1955) had a model character. | |
