Julius Strobel
Julius August Alexander Strobel (born October 7, 1814 in Bösenbrunn , † August 24, 1884 in Frankenhausen ) was a German organ builder .
life and work
In 1832 Strobel began an apprenticeship as an organ builder in the workshop of Johann Gottlob Mende in Leipzig. In 1836 he worked at Buckow in Hirschberg, from 1838 at Kreuzbach in Borna, from 1839 at Johann Friedrich Schulze in Paulinzella. In 1842, Strobel went to Frankenhausen am Kyffhäuser on behalf of Schulze to rebuild the organ in the lower church. He then settled in Frankenhausen and soon became one of the busiest organ builders in Northern Thuringia, but also exported to the Netherlands and South Africa.
An important student of Strobel was Friedrich Albert Mehmel , who had also worked for Ibach, Schulze and Ladegast and who settled in Greifswald.
Strobel's business was taken over by his sons Reinhold (* April 6, 1846 - November 27, 1916) and Adolph (* January 20, 1857 - March 8, 1922) and continued under the name of Julius Strobel Sons . In 1914 the company was dissolved.
