Adolf Reubke
Adolf Reubke (December 6, 1805 – March 3, 1875) was a German organ builder.
He was born in Halberstadt. His organ building business was based in Hausneindorf and he built instruments at the Jakobikirche in Magdeburg (1853-58), the Gewandhaus in Leipzig (1860; home of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra) and Magdeburg Cathedral (1861).
From 1860, Adolf's business was run in partnership with his son Emil (1836-1884), who continued to run the business until Emil's death in 1884, when Ernst Röver took over. Adolf Reubke outlived another son, the composer Julius Reubke. His third son, Otto (1842-1913), was also a composer, pianist and organist.
Reubke died in Hausneindorf.
