Company history
The production of organs in the Wipptal can be traced back to 1817. Today's Orgelbau Pirchner company was founded by Josef Reinisch I , who moved his workshop from Gries am Brenner to Steinach in 1825 .
A total of five generations of the Reinisch family were active as organ builders until 1935 Johann Pirchner, who had worked as an organ builder in the company since 1918, took over the management of the workshop. From then on, the company appeared under the name Reinisch-Pirchner . Due to the Second World War , the company was closed from the end of 1942 to June 1945.
From 1948 onwards, mechanical slider chest organs were built again, after instruments with pneumatic and electric action were made between 1898 and 1942 . From 1945, under Johann Pirchner's direction, more than 120 organs were built until he handed over the business to his son, who was also called Johann, in 1972.
In 1998 the company name (company) was changed to Orgelbau Pirchner . Since 2003, Martin Pirchner, son of Johann Pirchner jun. (* April 28, 1928; † December 11, 2012), the company together with his son Andreas.
