      • Johann Friedrich Schulze (27 January 1793 – 9 January 1858) was a German organ builder, from a family of organ builders. The company built major organs in Northern Germany and England.


      Career


      Schulze was born in Milbitz, the only child of Johann Andreas Schulze (1753–1806) and his wife. In 1806, he joined his father's company, trained by Johann Benjamin Witzmann in Stadtilm. He founded his own company in 1815 and moved its location in 1826 to Paulinzella. He was known as one of Europe's most famous organ builders. He and Eberhard Friedrich Walcker are regarded as leaders in productivity and progressivity in the trade.
      Schulze married Johanna Dorothea Sophia (née Kühn) from Oberrottenbach in 1820. They had a daughter and six sons, two of whom, Edmund Schulze and Eduard Schulze (1830–1880), also became organ builders. Among his students were Friedrich Wilhelm Winzer, Friedrich Albert Mehmel, Wilhelm Heerwagen and the brothers Karl-August and Heinrich Louis Witzmann. He died in Paulinzella.
      His two sons took over the family business, named "J. F. Schulzes Söhne". They were assisted by their brother Oskar Schulze (1825–1878), and another brother, Herwart Schulze (1836–1908), who worked as a sculptor. In 1881, when all brothers had died, the company was dissolved.
