The
Koenig
company
from
the
Alsace-Lorraine
is
founded
by
Jean-
Georges
Koenig
(1920-1992),
who
worked
first
as
an
apprentice
at
the
Roethinger
firm.
He
started
his
own
company
in
1945.
He
became
famous
with
the
building
of
the
organ
at
Sarre-Union
according
to
the
guidelines
of
Dom
Bédos
dating
to
1766.
Following
this
reconstruction,
the
firm
built
almost
exclusively
organs
with
suspended mechanics.
In
1968,
his
son
Yves
Koenig
(*1950)
joined
the
company
and
took
over
the
company
in
1983.
In
2008,
Julien
Marchal
(*1990)
joined
the
company
as
an
apprentice.
In
2016,
he
became
head
of
the
company.
