Johann Heinrich Wohlien
__NOTOC__ Johann Heinrich Wohlien also known as Johann Hinrich Wohlien, or Wohlin and Wollin (1779–1842) was a German master organ builder. Wohlien was born at Altona in Hamburg, the son to the organ builder Balthasar Wohlien (1745, Wilster – 1804, Hamburg). His brother was the piano and organ builder Lorenz Rudolph Wohlien with whom he formed the second generation of the family business. Wohlien moved the family workshop to Altona and at times worked together with his uncle Joachim Wilhelm Geycke. After 1804 the workshop was split, with Wohlien joining Johann Carl Eduard Erdland. The family business ended with Wohlien's grandson Johann Friedrich Eduard Wohlien (1843–1871), son to Johann Conrad Rudolph Wohlien.Fischer, Hermann; ''100 Jahre Bund deutscher Orgelbaumeister: Festschrift, mit einem lexikalischen Verzeichnis deutscher Orgelbauwerkstätten'' (''100 Years of the Association of German Master Organ Builders: Festschrift, with a lexical index of German organ buildin ...

Organ Building
Organ building is the profession of designing, building, restoring and maintaining pipe organs. The organ builder usually receives a commission to design an organ with a particular disposition of stops, manuals, and actions, creates a design to best respond to spatial, technical and acoustic considerations, and then constructs the instrument. The profession requires specific knowledge of such matters as the scale length of organ pipes and also familiarity with the various materials used (including woods, metals, felt, and leather) and an understanding of statics, aerodynamics, mechanics and electronics. However, although in theory the builder is responsible for all facets of construction, in practice organ-building workshops include specialists in pipes, actions, and cabinets; tasks such as the manufacture of pipes, metal casting, and making rarely-used components are often delegated to outside firms. After manufacture of all parts of a new organ, the pipes must be pre- ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Altona, Hamburg
Altona (), also called Hamburg-Altona, is the westernmost urban borough (''Bezirk'') of the German city state of Hamburg, on the right bank of the Elbe river. From 1640 to 1864, Altona was under the administration of the Danish monarchy. Altona was an independent borough until 1937. In 2016 the population was 270,263. History Altona was founded in 1535 as a village of fishermen in what was then Holstein-Pinneberg. In 1640, Altona came under Danish rule as part of Holstein-Glückstadt, and in 1664 was granted municipal rights by the Danish King Frederik III, who then ruled in personal union as Duke of Holstein. Altona was one of the Danish monarchy's most important harbor towns. The railroad from Altona to Kiel, the Hamburg-Altona–Kiel railway ( da, link=no, Christian VIII Østersø Jernbane), was opened in 1844. Because of severe restrictions on the number of Jews allowed to live in Hamburg until 1864 (with the exception of 1811–1815), a major Jewish community develop ...

Wilster
Wilster () is a town in Steinburg district in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. History Wilster was granted town rights under Lübeck law in 1282, and thereby counts itself among Schleswig-Holstein's oldest towns. Wilster forms the centre of the Wilstermarsch, a major cattle raising area in Germany. On 1 July 2005, the town administration and the ''Amt'' of Wilstermarsch merged into one authority. In 2018, the transformers for the NordLink power cable were installed in Wilster. Sightseeing The Old Town Hall built in 1585 is among Schleswig-Holstein's finest preserved Renaissance buildings. Moreover, the late Baroque St. Bartholomew's Church, built by Ernst Georg Sonnin between 1775 and 1781, and the New Town Hall (Doos'sche Palais) built in 1786 are also worth seeing.

Lithographer
Lithography () is a planographic method of printing originally based on the immiscibility of oil and water. The printing is from a stone (lithographic limestone) or a metal plate with a smooth surface. It was invented in 1796 by the German author and actor Alois Senefelder and was initially used mostly for musical scores and maps.Meggs, Philip B. A History of Graphic Design. (1998) John Wiley & Sons, Inc. p 146 Carter, Rob, Ben Day, Philip Meggs. Typographic Design: Form and Communication, Third Edition. (2002) John Wiley & Sons, Inc. p 11 Lithography can be used to print text or images onto paper or other suitable material. A lithograph is something printed by lithography, but this term is only used for fine art prints and some other, mostly older, types of printed matter, not for those made by modern commercial lithography. Originally, the image to be printed was drawn with a greasy substance, such as oil, fat, or wax onto the surface of a smooth and flat limestone plat ...
