Wolfgang Nussbucker

Wolfgang Nußbücker (born September 22, 1936 in Thuringia ) is a German organ builder, cantor and founder of the organ building workshop "Mecklenburg Orgelbau" , which operates in Plau am See .

Life

After completing his professional training, Wolfgang Nussbücker worked at Löbling in Erfurt from 1950 to 1953 with Lothar Heinze in Stadtilm. After completing his master's examination in 1964 with the construction of the new organ in the then Catholic Church of St. Sigismund Plaue , Nussbücker founded an organ building company in Erfurt in 1965. In 1966 he settled in Plau am See in Mecklenburg.

In the following 25 years an organ building workshop was built in the GDR. Due to the lack of material, tools and suppliers, this was sometimes difficult. In the course of this, a pipe workshop was also set up. The organ building workshop is particularly famous for the large number of small organs, positive and continuo instruments it produces . More than 150 new buildings were built during Nussbücker's creative period. Of the 24 organ building companies in the GDR, Nussbücker was the only one based in the three northern districts . In 1991 it was renamed Mecklenburg Orgelbau / Wolfgang Nussbücker. Since 1999 the master organ builder and son-in-law Andreas Arnold has been the new owner of the Mecklenburg Orgelbau organ building company.
