Trampeli (organ builder)
In the 18th and 19th centuries, the Trampeli family of organ builders from Adorf in the Vogtland produced over 100 larger organs in three generations, primarily for Vogtland churches.
Life
Johann Paul Trampel was born on January 16, 1708 in Oberlauterbach, he learned from Johann Georg Schröter in Erfurt and around 1734 took over the workshop of the organ builder and city organist Adam Heinrich Gruber in Zenker's house in Adorf. Trampel was involved in the construction and repair of about 50 organs. The only surviving Trample organ is in the St. Gallus Church in Chursdorf near Schleiz. It was built in 1753. Following the taste of the time, Trampel used the more elegant, seemingly Italian-sounding name Trampeli from 1759 and died on September 5, 1764.
The two sons Johann Gottlob (1742-1812) and Christian Wilhelm (* March 16, 1748; † February 26, 1803), who had taken over the last name of their father, took over the father's business and built, mostly under the leadership of Johann Gottlob as the most important member of the family, numerous organs in the wider area of their workshop. The largest instrument was the organ of the Nikolaikirche in Leipzig , about which Johann Adam Hiller judged: "In the Silbermann style excellently designed and executed" . Hiller's assessment points to the core of the success of the Trampelis, who had adopted Gottfried Silbermann's organ building principles without having been his pupil.
From 1806 to 1812 Christian Gottlob Steinmüller learned in the workshop of Johann Gottlob. After his death, Christian Wilhelm's son Friedrich Wilhelm Trampeli (* February 23, 1790; † November 2, 1832) took over the business. He remained - technically inexperienced and due to the unstable political situation - but behind the achievements of his uncle. The organ building theorist Johann Gottlob Töpfer found the organ of the Weimar Church , built by him in 1813, to be "completely unsuccessful" . Like the organ in the Johanniskirche in Plauen, it soon had to be replaced. Nevertheless, Friedrich Wilhelm Trampeli built a large number of other organs until his death and was active in Dortmund, among other places, where he built the large organ of the St. Reinoldi town church, which has not survived today . The Westphalian organ builder Christian Roetzel briefly learned from him.
After Friedrich Wilhelm Trampeli's death in 1832, organ building in Adorf came to a standstill. The workshop buildings were destroyed in a city fire in 1904.
