Christopher D. Minke

The organ of St. Laurentius ( Schönberg ) was inaugurated in 1847 and is the largest surviving organ built by the Wismar master organ builder Friedrich Wilhelm Winzer (1811-1886), who tried to implement the principles of the organ building theorist and Liszt friend Johann Gottlob Töpfer .

building history

earlier organs

The first organist is assigned to the Middle Ages. After the church fire in 1601, the organ at that time also burned down and the organ at that time was also destroyed. A new building is occupied for 1624.

New building by winegrowers in 1847

The initiative for this organ building came from the then Pastor Fischer, to whom Schönberg also owes the design of the church square and the renovation of the church. At the inauguration on February 7, 1847, the organ was first played in the hands of its builder. In a festive organ concert on the same day, the Schönberg organist Fritz Creutzfeldt, the cathedral organist Mette from Ratzeburg and Hermann Jimmerthal from St. Marien, Lübeck performed a program with works by Bach, Rinck, Mendelssohn and others. and some choral movements. The official acceptance by Jimmerthal did not take place until a year later. Jimmerthal was full of praise and emphasized Winzer's performance, also in view of the comparatively low price.

Friedrich Wilhelm Winzer built according to the then progressive principles of the organ building theorist Johann Gottlob Töpfer , a friend of Franz Liszt . “After the progressive work of Prof. Töpfer in Weimar , several organs were built in Germany. Among the masters ... the organ builder Mr. Winzer must be mentioned in particular ... This man enjoyed his artistic training with the well-known organ builder Mr. Schulze (Paulinzella) and worked with him for many years. During this time he was its foreman for several years and as such worked the famous organs in Halberstadt and Wismar, which are known to be among the best organs in Germany. After building the Wismar organ, he decided to settle in Mecklenburg . Since then he has built a number of organs which will soon give Mecklenburg organ building a different respect than it has enjoyed up to now.”

Convinced of Winzer's ability, the disposition intended for Schönberg was sent to Professor Töpfer for assessment. He had nothing to complain about: "I consider further regulations to be unnecessary because I know the organ builder to be a skilful, legal and honor-loving man who should not be distrusted."

Technically, the Schönberger organ from 1847 hardly differs from those of earlier eras. It has slider chests with mechanical action, a sounding prospectus and a wind supply through three wedge bellows, whereby the upper works are given their own wind characteristics by means of a float bellows. In the sense of the greatest possible variety of colors, 24 sounding voices were initially distributed over two manuals and pedal. The installation of two more voices beyond the contract was planned, but only took place after Winzer's death.

Repairs by Grüneberg and Kemper

The instrument is almost original. Its builder maintained it until the end of his working life. In 1894 Grüneberg from Stettin repaired it and replaced the trumpet in 1895. In 1911 Kemper from Lübeck added the Aeoline to the Oberwerk. Instead of the original tin prospectus, which had to be delivered in 1917 for war purposes, there was a zinc replacement from 1929 to the end of 2006.

Restoration by Schuke 2006-2008

Between 1982 and 1992 major maintenance work was carried out by Voigt, Bad Liebenwerda and Schuke, Potsdam. From 2006 to 2008 the organ was extensively restored by the organ building company Schuke/Werder .

Since its completion in 1847, the Winzer organ has had a lasting influence on Schönberg's musical life. The rich tradition of church music and today's lively concert life under the direction of church musician Christoph D. Minke (e.g. Schönberger Musiksommer ) could never have developed as it did without them.
