Gerald Woehl, born in 1940, is a prominent German organ builder and restorer of musical instruments. Coming from a family of musicians, he learned the craft of organ building from 1956 to 1959 at Wagner & Vier and then at Haerpfer & Erman in Boulay-Moselle until 1964. He mastered the construction of symphonic organs under Georges Lhôte and studied drawing, painting, and sculpture with Günter Späth. Woehl has restored numerous historical organs in addition to building new ones, showcasing his diverse skills in the field of organ craftsmanship.
Since 1966, Woehl has lived in Marburg an der Lahn, where he established his organ workshop. In 1985, his workshop relocated to the Schwanhof, a historic site in Marburg. Alongside organ building, he co-founded a restoration workshop for historical keyboard instruments with Monika May in 1982. In 2003, Woehl expanded his work to an atelier in Sanssouci, Potsdam. His son, Claudius MayWoehl, joined the business in 2014 and became a co-owner in 2016, leading to the establishment of Woehl-Orgel-Projekte GmbH in 2017, which continues to plan and execute new organ projects.
