Life

edit

Born in Querfurt, Electorate of Saxony, Heise was trained by Georg Christian Knecht in Tübingen. In 1820, he went to Potsdam and opened an organ workshop at 50 Charlottenstraße[Anm 1] Heise was held in high esteem by the Prussian government, which promoted him. After his death in 1847, Carl Ludwig Gesell, who had previously been Heise's first assistant for eight years, took over the company. .[1]

Carl Schultze, Friedrich Hermann Lütkemüller, Friedrich Kienscherf and probably also Georg Mickley were among his students.

Heise died in Potsdam, Kingdom of Prussia at the age of 62.
