Westphalian organ builder S. Sauer
Westfälischer Orgelbau S. Sauer is an organ building company in the successor to Eggert Orgelbau-Anstalt , which was taken over by Siegfried Sauer in 1973, relocated to Höxter and re-established there in 1999.
History of the company
The company's history goes back to Georg Josias Eggert. The Prussian soldier from Klein Oschersleben near Magdeburg settled in Paderborn in 1805 , where he turned to organ building in addition to carpentry in today's Adam and Eve House . After the family business in Paderborn was continued for three generations, the Cologne organ builder Anton Feith I took over the company in 1902, which he headed until 1929. During this time, the organ building company was one of the most important in Germany, the high point of the company's history was the order for the Great Organ in Paderborn Cathedral, built in 1926. Feith's son Anton Feith II ran the company until 1972. In the Feith era, around 800 organs were built between 1902 and 1972.
The new owner was Siegfried Sauer (* 1941 in Langenöls ) at the beginning of 1973 . Sauer learned organ building at Orgelbau Kreienbrink (Osnabrück) and Späth Orgelbau AG (Rapperswil) and passed the master craftsman's examination in Ludwigsburg. He took over the Stegerhoff company ( Steinheim ) and founded another company in Godelheim near Höxter, which was relocated to neighboring Ottbergen .
The company delivered around 300 new organs from 1973 to 2015, including many three- and four-manual works. There are also restorations of historical instruments.
In February 2015, the 15-employee company filed for bankruptcy . Under Sebastian Sauer and Thomas Heinemann, the company was renamed "Sauer & Heinemann", who continue the organ building tradition at the old location.
