Ernst Palandt

Ernst Palandt (7 March 1907 – 6 July 1979) was a German organ builder.

Born in Bochum,[1] Palandt worked as an organ builder in Halberstadt and Hildesheim between 1933 and 1969.

[1] In 1952, the two separated and Palandt continued to work alone as the owner of the Hildesheim organ building workshop.

[1] His estate is of particular importance because Palandt conducted intensive historical research on the organs he restored and maintained before the Destruction of Hildesheim and left behind extracts of files.

Accordingly, Palandt saw himself stylistically committed to the organ-building tradition of the North German Baroque.
