Organ construction
in the Saarland area

After half a century, "Hugo Mayer Organ Construction" with its workshop in Heusweiler has firmly re-established this traditional craft in the Saarland area.
Already in its third generation, here in Heusweiler we design and build instruments to a very high quality standard. In today’s "Mayer Organs", you can recognise all the influences of the neighbouring areas of Rhineland, Palatinum, Wuerttemberg and Baden as well as France, our neighbour in the West, with its historic areas of Alsace and Lorraine.
Every instrument we manufacture is an individual and unique master piece for the room it is designed for. With every new organ, the architecture of the building, the available space and the acoustics are big challenges for the manufacturer. While in the 18th century, an organ’s proportions followed a clear-cut regularity, the pluralism of contemporary organs makes it hard for the manufacturer to design organ frames in accordance with the aestethic principles of the trade; many times we find ourselves at the limits set by the architecture of modern church buildings, which is very often ruled by technically reasonable principles.

Here, we have to show profile and be imaginative. This is what makes our trade - far from simply bits and bytes - so excitingly interesting. Besides the design and manufacture of new organs, the maintenance and restoration of historical organs play an important role in our business. A separate department with experienced craftsmen and technicians continues and secures the old traditions. Extensive restoration jobs are documented in all detail, preserving them for generations to come.

Hugo Mayer Pipe Organ Building occupies 25 employees. The company with family tradition is well-known beyond the German borders. Mayer-Pipe Organs from Heusweiler sound in France, Luxemburg, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Norway, Sweden, USA, Israel, Croatia, Mexico, South-Korea, Russia and Kazakhstan.
