Nikolaus Fischer (organ builder)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Nikolaus Fischer (* around 1814 ? † September 15, 1866 in Demmin , Western Pomerania ) was a German organ builder in Demmin.

life and work

There is hardly any information about himself. He was probably a student of Johann Friedrich Schulze . Possibly he came to Demmin with this in 1840 for repair work and then settled there.

About 12 new organs by Nikolaus Fischer are known in Western Pomerania , some of which have been preserved. In some church representations the name is given (erroneously?) As FW Fischer or Anton Fischer . Instruments that are no longer available are in italics .
