Philipp Furtwängler & Sons
Philipp Furtwängler & Sons was a German organ building company. It was founded by Philipp Furtwängler (born April 6, 1800 in Gütenbach , † July 5, 1867 in Elze ).
history
Philipp Furtwängler
Furtwängler was born as the third of eleven children of the freight carrier and farmer Bartholomäus Furtwängler (* 1772, † 1845) in Gütenbach / Baden. He was an older brother of the classical philologist Wilhelm Furtwängler (* 1809 Gütenbach ; † 1875 in Freiburg im Breisgau ) and great-uncle of the conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler (* 1886 Berlin; † 1954 Baden-Baden).
It is believed that he originally learned the craft of watchmaking. In 1822 he became a citizen of Elze near Hildesheim. Catholic by home, he converted to the Protestant faith here in 1828. Even before that, he began building organs and became one of the most productive organ builders in the region. He rebuilt at least 68 organs, and 33 conversions and repairs of other instruments are known. The company, initially registered as Thurm-Uhren-Fabrik Philipp Furtwängler in 1838, employed up to eight permanent employees in 1849 and 15 to 20 in 1854.
He was mainly active in the area of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Hanover and in Braunschweig. But some organs were also made for Catholic churches. The largest work performed by Philipp Furtwängler is the organ of the Evangelical Lutheran St. Matthäi Church in Gronau (Leine) (Op. 55, III + P / 57).
Philipp Furtwängler was mayor in Elze from 1852 and from 1854 to 1857.
Continuation of the company
After his death, the company was continued by his sons Wilhelm (* June 5, 1829 in Elze; † September 4, 1883 ibid) and Pius (* July 17, 1841 in Elze; † January 16, 1910 in Hanover ). After the death of Wilhelm the company went out. Pius Furtwängler continued the company tradition by founding the company P. Furtwängler & Hammer together with the organ builder Adolf Hammer in 1883 .
Works (selection)
The following lists contain selected new organs from the workshop, as well as some organs that were destroyed or replaced by new organs from other organ builders.
The size of the instruments is indicated in the fifth column by the number of manuals and the number of sounding registers in the sixth column. A capital “P” stands for an independent pedal , a lowercase “p” for an attached pedal. Italicization indicates that the organ in question is no longer preserved or that the brochure is from one of the two workshops.
