Philipp Wilhelm Gruneberg

Philipp Wilhelm Grüneberg (* 1710 in Magdeburg ; † 1777 ) was a German organ builder in Zerbst , Magdeburg and Belgard . He founded the important organ builder family Grüneberg in Brandenburg and Stettin.

Life

He was possibly an employee of David Zuberbier , from whom he continued a job in Zerbst. From around 1752, Grüneberg worked in Magdeburg , where he was mentioned in 1760 as one of four organ builders. Around 1767 he went to Belgard in Pomerania , where he was also an organist. His son Johann Wilhelm Grüneberg became an organ builder in Brandenburg an der Havel, Georg Friedrich Grüneberg in Stettin in Pomerania.
