Martin Pflug

Martin Pflug (born October 30, 1886 in Posen , Province of Posen ; † January 19, 1945 in Wittenberge , Prignitz ) was a German organ builder in Wittenberge.

Life

The parents were probably Hermann Theodor Gotthold Pflug (* 1860/61) and Anna Marie, née Henkel (* 1864/65) in Posen . Martin Pflug had been working in Prignitz since 1915 at the latest , where he built his first organ in Bälow . He may have worked for the organ builder Rudolf Piper in Perleberg for a while. After 1917 he installed new prospect pipes in some of the Prignitz churches on behalf of Faber & Greve . These assignments were carried out with documents from the late Piper.

In 1926, Pflug passed his master craftsman examination. He then worked in Wittenberge until 1944. A successor is not known.
