Founded in 1978 by Siegfried Schulte, Orgelbau Schulte quickly made a name for quality in the Rheinland, as a result of the many new constructions built during this period of company growth. The temporary highlight in the “St. Joseph” in Cologne-Porz with 43 stops was without a doubt the magnum opus.

And it continued. Even in declining organ building periods, Orgelbau Schulte was able to expand and after restoring one of the first organs belonging to the Joh. Klais company from Bonn (1887, op 9. now in Euskirchen-Kleinbüllesheim), was able to establish a reputation in the professional restoration of historical instruments.
