Orgelbau Eisenbarth is a German organ building company based in Passau . It was founded in 1945 by Ludwig Eisenbarth. Her best-known work is the Passau Cathedral Organ, the largest organ in Europe.

history

The company was founded in 1945 by Ludwig Eisenbarth (* 1909 in Oettingen , † 1992 in Passau) in Passau. He learned the trade of organ building from Steinmeyer in his hometown of Oettingen . At the beginning of the 1950s, the company premises were built in the Grubweg district. The son of the company founder, Wolfgang Eisenbarth (* 1941 in Oettingen), joined the company in 1962 and in 1987 took over the commercial and organ building management.

In 2001 an own pipe shop was opened. In 2004 the company became a GmbH under the management of Agathe Eisenbarth and her father Wolfgang Eisenbarth.

Works

Until around 1960, Eisenbarth mostly built organs with electric or pneumatic pocket drawers . Even in the heyday of neo-baroque organ building, Eisenbarth clearly showed southern German influences in the intonation of the pipes . With the change of company management in 1962, the change to mechanical grinding chests took place . Wolfgang Eisenbarth's aim was to unite Italian and French-romantic sound characteristics. A utility model protection was granted for the double and multiple valve control developed by Eisenbarth .

“We must not complain if the organ is excluded from a decisive majority of composers, as long as we organ builders are so little innovative, avoid intercultural dialogue and do not seek discourse with aesthetics and science on our own initiative.

Would César Franck , who began to write for the organ relatively late, have composed so convincingly or at all really for the organ if Cavaillé-Coll hadn't thrown the glove on him beforehand , as it were in terms of organ building?

Organ building has a cultural-political task and responsibility that we organ builders can miss. "
