Waldkircher Orgelbau Jäger & Brommer , based in Waldkirch im Breisgau, is a German organ building workshop .

history

The company was founded in 1988 by master organ builders Wolfgang Brommer, the son of teacher and art historian Hermann Brommer , and Heinz Jäger. The company sees itself in the continuation of the tradition of organ building in Waldkirch, which was founded in 1799 by Matthias Martin and enjoyed a worldwide reputation from the beginning of the 19th century to the 1920s.

As Opus 1, Jäger & Brommer built a new organ for the pilgrimage church " Berghauser Kapelle " near Ehaben . Further work in southern Germany followed. The first restoration work was also carried out on flute clocks and mechanical musical instruments . The quality of the restorations is recognized by museums. The Waldkirch organ builders are also internationally active, their instruments can be found in Europe, USA, Japan, Korea and China.

Jäger & Brommer developed the ÖK organ concept for smaller parishes and smaller rooms , an economical modular system in the form of a positive , which contains a single-manual basic module that can be expanded with the modules pedal extension and accompanying manual as well as an Oberwerk manual . Alternatively, a spinet or digital piano can be installed instead of the second manual .

Jäger & Brommer are co-founders of the Waldkircher Organ Foundation and the Sulzmann Archive, the document collection of the preservationist and organ expert for church organs of the Baden-Württemberg State Monuments Office, Bernd Sulzmann (1940–1999).

In 2007 the "Master Workshop for Organ Builders Jäger & Brommer" was the first craft business to be awarded the " German Foreign Trade Prize".
