After training with Rühlmann (Zörbig), Geissler (Eilenburg) and Schlag & Söhne (Schweidnitz), Arno Voigt (1876–1930) founded an organ construction company in 1905 from the estate of his uncle, the organ builder Christian Friedrich Raspe (1822–1892) in Liebenwerda. He managed the company until 1930. During this period, only organs with pneumatic cone chests were produced. There was an expansion of the workshops and an increase in the number of employees to up to 25 people at peak times. In 1914, the company was awarded a gold medal by the “General Industry and Trade Exhibition” in Liebenwerda for its excellent performance. However, the outbreak of the First World War almost brought about an interruption in work activities. In the post-war and inflationary period, some projects were won and carried out despite the difficult economic situation. Arno Voigt's son Arno Voigt jun. (1903–1986) learned during the war in the family organ business and began studying music at the conservatory in Dresden. The combination of organ building and church music has been a distinctive tradition since the company started up to the present day (fourth generation). With the beginning of the Second World War, the company almost came to a standstill. The two sons, Dieter Voigt (* 1935) and Gisbert Voigt (* 1940), received piano and organ lessons as well as training in organ building. Dieter Voigt studied church music in Halle (Saale) from 1953 to 1958 and graduated with an A-exam. Dieter has been a master organ builder since 1970. Gisbert passed the master carpenter exam in 1961 and the master organ builder exam in 1966. The third generation took over the company from their father in 1961, managed by both sons. From then on they only produced organs with slide chests and mechanical soundtracks. The company was able to avoid the threat of nationalization of organ building companies in the 1970s. In 1978 the company received the title of “Recognized Artisan” for its achievements - at that time a quite unusual award for a private craft business. An exception in GDR times was the company when it began producing its own lingual voices in 1986. All other companies had to Almost all of the tongue registers were imported from Göttingen. The takeover of the company by the fourth generation in 1996 resulted in a transformation into a GmbH. In the 1990s, mainly reconstruction and restoration work was carried out. But also many important instruments with considerable technical innovations as well as the largest of the Voigt organs produced to date (Berlin-Charlottenburg with III / 55, St. Nikolai Church Bad Liebenwerda with III / 41) were made during this time expanded to include an independent metal pipe workshop.
