Wolf Bergelt

[1] Bergelt has been involved since 1979 with the inventory and systematic historiographical development of the "organ landscape of Brandenburg",[2] which he started from Prenzlau as district church musician of the Uckermark.

[8] In 2012, his opus magnum Joachim Wagner – Orgelmacher was published,[9] which is the first comprehensive account of the life and work of the central figure of Prussian organ building and congenial contemporary of Gottfried Silbermann and Arp Schnitger.

[12][13][14] The continuation series Wagner-Geist im Orgelbau der Schüler aims at the extensive presentation of individual work histories from Wagner's circle of students.

In the series Dokumente der Orgelwelt Bergelt appears mainly as editor, where – as in volume 12 – he contributes comments, but also acts as author.

[15] The selection of topics concentrates on rare, partly rediscovered or also endangered source material of particular cultural-historical importance and scientific relevance.
