!!!Mauracher, Orgelbauerfamilie

Mauracher, Austrian family of organ builders. The family split into 
two lines; the earliest evidence for the older line comes from Kapfing 
im Zillertal (Tyrol) from around 1720. The family continued the 
tradition of organ building over many generations and worked in all 
parts of Austria, combining their artisan tradition with technological 
progress. In 1860, they settled in Salzburg, where they built organs 
for the Kollegienkirche and renovated the organ of the Cathedral. 
Other famous organs built by the M. family are in Kremsmuenster 
monastery, St. Florian (renovated organ), Seckau monastery, Steyr 
(parish church), Bad Ischl and in Vienna (Maria am Gestade, 
Lazaristenkirche). Their workshop closed down in 1955.
