Poppe (organ builder)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Poppe is the name of a family of organ builders from the Thuringian town of Stadtroda , then Roda . The work of the family took place from the 18th to the 20th century.

history

Since it was founded in 1757, the Poppe family ran their organ-building workshop near the Stadtroda city gate for six generations until the end of the Second World War. 70 organs in the East Thuringian area testify to their work.

In 1859 Daniel Adolph Poppe founded the company Gebr. Poppe with his sons Ernst and Adolf , which existed until 1889. It was managed in 1889 under the new name Ernst Poppe & Sohn by (Johann) Ernst (Karl) and his son Bernhard and continued until 1928.

At the end of the 19th century a branch was founded in Rheinsheim in Baden . In 1901, Joseph Poppe moved the headquarters of A. Poppe & Sons from Rheinsheim to Knittelsheim (Palatinate) and in 1905 to Offenbach an der Queich near Landau in the Palatinate . In 1910 he delivered the organ for the Protestant church in Bexbach - Höchen . In 1967 he died.

The Stadtroda company relocated to Schleiz in 1902 . The penultimate company owner was Friedrich Ernst Poppe, son of Otto Poppe and grandson of Ernst Poppe. He died on April 22, 1945 in fighting in the Augsburg area. In the course of the occupation of Schleiz, the Red Army deported the last owner to the Buchenwald concentration camp . He did not return and was pronounced dead in 1947.
