Zickermann (organ builder)
Zickermann is the name of a family of organ builders who worked in Pomerania and Prussia between 1566 and 1623 and created several important organs.
history
Adrian Zickermann came from Cammin in Pomerania and was named in 1550 when his son Michael was born. Work for the cathedral in Kolberg is known from 1566 , in 1580 he built a new organ there, and in the same year also in the Camminer cathedral .
His son Michael went to Königsberg in Prussia in 1574 , where he died in 1580. The brother Johann Zickermann was only named for the organ in Insterburg in 1589 , he probably also created the large organ for the Königsberg Cathedral in 1587, which with three manuals and 59 registers was the largest in Prussia at that time. His brother Joachim built some organs in the Duchy of Prussia from 1590 to 1607 . Adrian the Younger's work and new buildings from 1596 to 1623 in the Duchy of Prussia and the Catholic Monastery of Ermland have been handed down. A letter from him is known from 1624.
None of the organs have survived.
