Johann Peter Migendt

Johann Peter Migendt, also Migend, (1703 – 19 September 1767) was a German organ builder in Berlin and successor to Joachim Wagner.

Life
Migend was born in Birthälm, Principality of Transylvania (now Biertan, Sibiu County, Romania). From 1731/32 he worked for Joachim Wagner in Berlin, and from 1741 he was his master craftsman after the death of Kallensee. A joint contract with Wagner for a new organ is known from 1747, and in 1749 he took over Wagner's workshop. In 1755 Peter Migendt built a house at what later became Münzstraße 9 in the Spandauer Vorstadt, In 1756 he received the Berlin citizenship.

Among others, his employees were Georg Friedrich Grüneberg (until about 1756) and Ernst Julius Marx, who probably took over the workshop after 1667. He died in 1767 in Berlin.
