Paul Faust

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Faust (* 1872 in Schwelm ; † 1953 ibid) was a German organ builder in Barmen and Schwelm.

Life

Paul Faust learned organ building from 1888 to 1892 with Julius Schwarz in Rostock. He then immersed himself in various workshops and in 1896 passed the master's examination at the Fabritius company in Kaiserswerth. Two years later, Faust became managing director of Ernst Bernhard Koch in Barmen and continued his workshop there from 1904, while Koch moved the company to Ronsdorf . The Barmer company was relocated to Schwelm in 1920.

Carl Bürkle (* 1890) had been a partner since 1941. When he died in 1960, his widow took over the management. Jürgen Dahlbüdding continued the company under the name “Schwelmer Orgelbau Jürgen Dahlbüdding KG” until it went out in 1982.

plant

Faust was in the direct tradition of Ibach and Koch and initially referred to himself as B. Koch's Nachf. Formerly Ibach's Nachf. In total, Faust had built around 260 new organs by 1953, most of which were replaced in the course of time. His sphere of activity focused on southern Westphalia and the neighboring Rhineland . A few works were exported abroad. At first he used cone shops , from 1920 he started using pocket shops. The actions were pneumatic or electric. His brochure design was influenced by Art Nouveau , and in later years Art Deco . After Faust's death the company built grinding shops again .
