Ahrend in 2019

Ahrend was born in Göttingen on 28 April 1930.[3] From 1946 to 1948, he served an apprenticeship in the firm of Paul Ott. Afterwards, he worked for the firm as employee.[3] In 1954, he formed a partnership with Gerhard Brunzema in Leer-Loga, Lower Saxony.[3] They produced 54 new organs and made 19 restorations, until Brunzema left the firm in 1972.[3] Since January 1972, the workshop has been operating under the name Jürgen Ahrend Orgelbau.[4] Since 2005, his son Hendrik Ahrend has run the workshop.[1]
