Organ building Trier, Sebald / Oehms

The company Orgelbau Trier was from 1936 to 1992 existing organ workshop in Trier . It was known by the names of its owners Eduard Sebald (* October 12, 1905 in Plattling ; † January 20, 1952 in Trier) and Rudolf Oehms (* 1931; † 1992).

history

The official name of the organ building company has been changed several times due to the changing owners. The company was initially founded in 1936 under the name "Sebald & Brandt" by Eduard Sebald, who had learned the organ building trade in the organ building workshops of Weise and Paul Faust , and Max Brandt, a piano maker. After the Second World War, Eduard Sebald took over the workshop as the sole owner and continued to run it until his untimely death in 1952. In the following two decades, the business was continued by his son Rolf Sebald (1927–1972) and his widow Maria Sebald. After the death of Rolf Sebald, Rudolf Oehms (1931–1992) took over the company in 1972; he renamed it in his name in 1982. With the death of Rudolf Oehms in 1992, the company was given up.

Development of the instruments

Typical game table from the Sebald company in the 1950s

The early instruments of the company Sebald & Brandt fall stylistically in a time of upheaval between the late late normantics and the emerging organ movement . The use of pneumatic cone chests and the disposition of two to three 8 'registers per manual still reveal a differentiated cast of the basic voices. However, with some characteristic tongue and higher aliquot registers , the first elements of the organ movement can already be recognized. Opus 2, which was built for the parish church of St. Martin in Neunkirchen (Nahe) in 1936, has z. B. already a Krummhorn 8 'and a violin shelf 4' in the swell .

After the Second World War, the Sebald company was one of the leading organ workshops for village and parish churches along the Moselle , but also in neighboring regions such as the Eifel , Saarland Saarland and Luxembourg . During this time, many similarly arranged two-manual organs with electropneumatically controlled cone chests were delivered - a system that the Sebald company maintained until the mid-1960s. Characteristic of the instruments of this time is the design of the pedal stops as extensions .

Even before it was taken over by Rudolf Oehms, the sliding drawer with a mechanical action mechanism was reintroduced. The instruments from Oehms are also characterized by a housing design with a relatively large number of pipe towers, as can be found in the instruments in St. Pius Neunkirchen (Saar) and St. Augustinus Saarbrücken-Eschberg .
