  • About us :

    The Karl Schuke Berlin organ building workshop emerged from the Alexander Schuke Orgelbauanstalt Potsdam, today Alexander Schuke Potsdam Orgelbau GmbH, which Karl Schuke and Hans-Joachim Schuke jointly managed from 1933 to 1950. Due to the political situation in the post-war years, it seemed advisable for the Schuke brothers to to have another mainstay in the western part of Berlin. Thus, in 1950, the Berlin organ building workshop was founded as an offshoot of the Potsdam company by the employee Ernst Bittcher. In 1953, Karl Schuke took over sole management of the Berlin workshop, which was also renamed Karl Schuke Berliner Orgelbauwerkstatt GmbH. Work was carried out in the workshop of a former carpentry in Berlin-Lichterfelde until 1966. A new workshop building was built in Berlin-Zehlendorf that year, and in 1976 the management was reorganized with employees as shareholders. Karl Schuke died in 1987 at the age of 80. Since none of Karl Schuke's four children wanted or could join the company, the continuation of the company was now in the hands of the shareholders. To this day, new constructions and restorations are carried out in the Karl Schuke Berlin organ building workshop. Today, Martin Schwarz heads the company, which employs 28 people (as of 2016).
