Ludwig Quosig

August Friedrich Ludwig Quosig (born November 6, 1801 in Rostock ; † 1841 ibid) was a German organ builder in Rostock.

Life

Ludwig Quosig, probably a son of the watchmaker Friedrich Quosig (* 1763) who immigrated from Brandenburg to Rostock in 1790, first learned the carpentry trade. The census of 1819 in Mecklenburg-Schwerin names him as a “carpenter's boy” (more likely an apprentice than a journeyman) in the household of his Rostock teacher, the master carpenter Joachim Peter Jantzen (* 1784). From around 1820, probably during his journeyman's journey, he learned organ building outside of Mecklenburg and worked in southern Germany, Switzerland and France.

Quosig returned to Rostock around 1837, where he took the citizenship oath on June 19, 1837 as an organ builder and worked briefly with Heinrich Rasche as Rasche & Quosig organ builder in 1838 . In 1839 Ludwig Quosig built his first and probably only organ in Mecklenburg in Marlow . He died in 1841.

Works

Only one new build and one repair in Mecklenburg are known of Ludwig Quosig.
