Marcus Runge

Marcus Runge (born October 4, 1865 in Hagenow , † January 27, 1945 in Schwerin ) was a German organ builder in Schwerin.
Life
Marcus Runge first learned organ building from his father Johann Heinrich Runge in Hagenow, but could not take over the workshop when he died in 1885 because he was still too young. He worked for a while with Wilhelm Sauer in Frankfurt (Oder) and in 1893 went to Friedrich Friese III in Schwerin. In 1894 he moved to Friedrich Ladegast in Weißenfels.
In 1896, Marcus Runge bought the workshop of the late Friedrich Friese III at Kirchenstrasse 1 in Schwerin. He first finished his orders and initially continued his architectural style. In 1912/1913 he built his largest organ with 30 registers in the castle church and was then appointed court organ builder. He now referred to his company as M. Runge, Hoforgelbauer, Frieses Nachf.
Marcus Runge only built pneumatic organs. They were often used sparingly with fundamental manuals. Even with four-part organs he used a free pedal register Subbass 16 '. The design of the prospectus was first neo-Gothic, then also Nordic , influenced by Gotthilf Ludwig Möckel , later sometimes only set free pipes.
In 1945 Leopold Nitschmann took over the workshop after Runge's death and continued it until 1965.
