Wagner organs

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The organs by Joachim Wagner are among the most important baroque organs in the Mark Brandenburg . They are shown one after the other.

Joachim Wagner (1690–1749) is considered to be the most important organ builder in the Mark Brandenburg. 52 new organs from him are known, as well as other works. There are 15 instruments in larger parts as well as 8 brochures and smaller parts.

Organs (selection)

The original instruments are shown, later changes are only taken into account if they are necessary to understand the original structures. The order and numbering follows the list of works of the Institute for Organ Research.

In the Cathedral of Brandenburg Wagner built from 1723 to 1725 an organ with 33 stops on two manuals. The prospectus was created by Johann Georg Glume , a student of Andreas Schlueter . The bass pipes are carried by figures of the patron saints as atlases in protruding projections .

The instrument has only been changed a little and is almost original. From 1997 to 1999 Schuke Orgelbau carried out restorations, in 2014 a general cleaning and tuning as well as the repair of the wind chests. The organ is considered to be the most important surviving Wagner organ.

Berlin Garrison Church 1724–1726 (No. 4, destroyed)

Organ in the Berlin garrison church, depiction from 1737

Wagner built his largest organ in the Berlin garrison church from 1724 to 1726. This had 50 stops on three manuals.

In 1892/1893 it was rebuilt by Wilhelm Sauer and expanded to III / P, 70. In 1901 it was given a pneumatic action. In 1908 the organ with the church burned down. A new instrument with the reconstructed Wagner prospectus was destroyed in a bomb attack in 1943.

Blumberg 1726–1727 (No. 6, replaced)

From 1726 to 1727 Joachim Wagner built a small organ with 7 registers without a pedal for the village church in Blumberg northeast of Berlin.

In 1856 and 1878 Wilhelm Remler expanded the work to 11 registers with two manuals and a pedal and built a neo-Gothic two-part prospectus, which was interrupted by the central pillar of the church. In 1899 Wilhelm Sauer carried out repairs.

In 1938 Hans-Joachim Schuke proposed the construction of a new organ, and in 1952 he repeated it. In 1957 the Wagner organ was dismantled and replaced in 1963/65 by a new one from Schuke with 13 registers.

Freienwalde Nikolaikirche 1728 (No. 10, prospectus preserved)

Today's prospectus of the organ in the Nikolaikirche in Freienwalde

In 1728 Joachim Wagner built another organ in the Nikolaikirche in Freienwalde on the Oder. This had 24 stops on two manuals. In 1843 Gottlieb Heise carried out repairs, in 1850, 1851 and 1858 further repairs were made. In 1860 Georg Mickley made a rescheduling and in 1862 carried out repairs.

In 1899 Wilhelm Sauer built a new organ in the old case, also with 24 registers. This was expanded in 1975 and replaced in 1976 by a new factory from Sauer, also in the old Wagner prospectus.

Wriezen St. Marien 1728–1729 (No. 11, destroyed)

Wagner built an organ in the Marienkirche in Wriezen from 1728 to 1729. This was rearranged by Gottlieb Heise in 1837 and expanded to III / P, 34 by Carl August Buchholz in 1877 . From 1901 onwards there were further changes. In 1936 Schuke reconstructed the original organ while retaining an additional Buchholz wind chest with III / P, 40. In 1945 the instrument with the church was destroyed.

Templin 1730 (No. 12, destroyed)

In 1730 Wagner built an organ with 30 registers on two manuals and a splendid prospectus in the Maria Magdalena Church in Templin, which fell victim to a fire along with the church in 1735.

Potsdam Garrison Church 1731–1732 (No. 17, destroyed)

Pulpit and organ of the Potsdam Garrison Church

Joachim Wagner built an organ with 24 registers on two manuals for the Potsdam Garrison Church . This was destroyed in 1944.

Zachow 1736? (No. 24, prospectus received)

In 2003 , in Czachów , the former Zachow in Neumark, Karl Richter discovered a baroque case in the church there , which he assumed was built by Joachim Wagner. The government, the disposition, the terrace wave mechanics and the basic conception of the prospectus were very similar to those of the organ in Gramzow (today Sternhagen, 26). He therefore assumed 1736 as the year of construction, as the Zachow Church was redesigned that year and Wagner built two more organs in the neighboring Königsberg , Neumark (23) and Nahausen (22) that year.

Documents from 1837 suggested that the organ may have been built in a different location, as a letter stated that a new organ was to be built on the gallery. That would mean that today's work could not have been in the church at that time.

In 1837 (or 1843?) Carl August Buchholz built a new movement into the baroque case while retaining two old registers with the addition of a pedal. In 1945 all metal pipes were stolen, so that today only the wooden pedal pipes from Buchholz from 1837/1843 are preserved in the empty case.

Karl Richter reconstructed a possible Wagner arrangement with 7 registers without a pedal.

Schwedt Castle Chapel 1735 (No. 25, draft)

On September 19, 1735, Joachim Wagner wrote a proposal for the organ in the palace chapel in Schwedt on the Oder. This provided for 20 registers with two manuals and a pedal. He charged 800 thalers as a cost. It is not yet known whether he built the organ, the baroque organ from this period no longer exists.

In 1736 an organ with 9 registers on a manual and pedal was built in Gramzow in the Uckermark, according to inscriptions inside. The original disposition is unknown. In 1786 the organ builder Michael Lockstaedt from Prenzlau carried out work, in 1818 more followed, in 1830 by August Wilhelm Grüneberg from Stettin and in 1840 by (Friedrich Wilhelm) Kaltschmidt from Stettin. The organ was a bit changed at this point. The arrangement was described by the organist and music director Bermann around 1857:

“In the manual are:
1. Principal 4 feet
2. Gedackt 8 feet divided voices
3. Discant 8 VG bass 8 VG
4.
Reed flute 4 feet 5. Nassard 3 foot divided voices
6. Discant 5 bass divided voices
7. Mixture 3-way cornet 3 fold
8. Cimbel u. Tremulant
In the pedal are:
1. Sub-bass 16 feet
2. Octave 8 feet "

At least the Octave 8 ′ pedal register was probably not by Wagner, as he did not use it on any other organ.

In 1857 a transfer to Meichow nearby was considered, but not carried out. The instrument was finally brought to Sternhagen near Prenzlau, and the disposition was changed somewhat by Gesell and Schultze.

In 1917 the prospect pipes had to be handed in. By 1980 the organ was in very bad condition and no longer playable. In 1984/1985, Wolf Bergelt and Dietrich Kollmannsperger determined the presumed authorship of Joachim Wagner by comparing them with the construction of other organs.
The disposition was at that time

Only after the renovation of the church could the organ be restored by the Schuke company from Werder in 2009 . Some parts had to be reconstructed based on historical models from other Wagner organs. The organ builders decided on a trombone as the second pedal register.

From the original inventory of the Wagner organ there are still three or four stops with part of the pipes, as well as a large part of the technical substance such as action, wind chests, keyboards and the two wedge bellows in the historical case.

Bochow 1737–1738 (No. 30, replaced)

From 1737 to 1738 Wagner built an organ with 7 stops on one manual in the village church in Bochow near Jüterbog. It is not known whether the two pedal registers subbass 16 'and trombone 8' were also his or were added later.

In 1785 there was a repair, in 1835/36 another. In 1857 Friedrich August Moschütz built a new case, repaired the work and replaced the trombone with an 8 'violon. In 1910, Alexander Schuke , who was in charge of maintenance, refused to do anything on the organ because the work was not worth it . In 1912 he built a new instrument.

Brüssow 1737–1739 (No. 32, lost)

In 1737 Joachim Wagner started a new organ in the town church of St. Sophia in Brüssow in the Uckermark. On April 24, 1738 he himself played on the first two finished registers for the wedding of the carpenter Gust. The instrument was inaugurated in 1739. It had 11 registers with a manual. The builder received 346 thalers. Gottlieb Scholtze repaired it in 1751 and 1754, and the organ builder Noebe in 1819.

In 1840 the organ was auctioned to the Brüssow merchant JN Stahl for 57 thalers and 12 silver groschen. The further fate is unknown. In 1842 a new organ was inaugurated by Gottlieb Heise in the town church.

From 1738 to 1739 Wagner built a small organ for the village church in Schönwalde, northwest of Berlin. This had 12 registers on a manual with pedal. The church patron Otto von Rosey and his wife Dorothea financed the organ building in the new church.

In the 19th century there was a rescheduling. In 1935, the Alexander Schuke company from Potsdam reconstructed the original disposition. In 1970/1971 restorations were carried out by Schuke, further repairs in 1983. From 2014 to 2015, Karl Schuke's Berlin organ building workshop carried out another restoration and renewal. The principle pipes for the prospectus and the tongue registers were newly made according to historical templates.

The prospectus is divided into a central tower and two lower pointed towers at the side, with a smaller flat area in between, above which the two rotating cymbal stars are attached. The central tower shows a cartouche with the initials of the donor couple Otto and Dorothea von Rosey at the top . The prospectus is again in white and gold with individual blue fields and decorated with rich acanthus carvings.

The organ has 12 registers, including two divided and two treble registers. The lowest octave is only developed chromatically from D.

A rescheduling took place. In 1909 Felix Grüneberg added a pedal. In 1917 the prospect pipes had to be handed in and were later replaced by wooden dummies.

It was not until 1999 that Wagner's authorship was ascertained through inspection of account books, inscriptions in the factory and structural comparisons. Until then, Christian Friedrich Voigt was considered the builder. In 2002 the organ was completely renovated by the Schuke company . The plant was damaged by penetrating meltwater around 2014 (?). A comprehensive restoration and reconstruction of the instrument is planned.

Passow 1743–1744 (No. 44, brochure and small parts preserved)

From 1743 to 1744 Joachim Wagner built an organ in Passow in the Uckermark region . This had 8 registers on a manual without a pedal. He received a total of 296 thalers, 1 groschen and 6 pfennigs. Repairs were carried out in 1773/74, 1803/04 and 1825, in 1843 by Friedrich Leopold Morgenstern and in 1855 by the organ builder Eisenach from Greiffenberg.

In 1872 Emil Kaltschmidt from Stettin built a new organ using some old pipes in the old prospectus. After that, no further work is known. In 2007, Friedrich-Karl Baas discovered Wagner's authorship by inspecting church files with the accounts from 1743 and 1744. Until then, the original builder was unknown.

The organ has not been playable for a long time. A restoration or a reconstruction are being considered.

Wagner built another organ in Felchow , due to the proximity to Angermünde (No. 42) and other organ buildings in the Uckermark, it is assumed that it was built around 1745. The prospectus from Minder from Schwedt is decorated with two trumpet-playing angels. When the cymbal register is operated, these beat the timpani. At the same time the Zimbelstern begins to turn. At first the organ did not have a pedal and was expanded by Paul Bütow in 1899 to include a pedal to 9 stops. In 1917 the prospect pipes had to be handed in. In 1970/71 Ulrich Fahlberg carried out repairs and minor modifications, in 1999 Hartmut Rönnecke and Hartmut Beyer repaired defects.

Most of the Wagner work has been preserved, the prospect pipes, another 1½ Wagner registers, grid boards and sticks of 2½ further Wagner registers are missing, the bellows and ducts have been replaced, the console has been changed. The organ is basically playable, but urgently in need of restoration.

In the village church in Flemsdorf, a small organ with 6 registers without a pedal was built in 1745. Joachim Wagner is presumed to be the builder, as he was active in Angermünde (No. 42) and other nearby places during this time. In 1899 Paul Bütow carried out modifications and added a pedal to 8 registers. In 1917 the prospect pipes had to be handed in, which were  replaced by zinc pipes in 1942 (by Karl Gerbig ?).

Today four Wagner registers have been preserved, the organ is in need of restoration.
