Johannes Rohlf, born on October 6, 1936, in Bautzen, is a renowned German organ builder. After completing his education in organ building at Hermann Eule Orgelbau in Bautzen in 1953, Rohlf gained further experience working with prominent organ builders such as Josef Glatter-Götz (Rieger Orgelbau), Alfred Führer, and Victor Gonzales. He completed his master course at the Fachschule für Musikinstrumentenbau in Ludwigsburg in 1963 and established his own workshop in Ruit on the Fildern in 1964. In 1986, Rohlf expanded his operations by moving to a larger workshop in Neubulach-Seitzental, which was further enhanced with a new assembly hall and office space in 1999.

Rohlf's body of work includes over 200 new organ constructions and restorations across Germany, Europe, and Japan. His creations are known for their timeless design, often featuring modern interpretations of traditional organ aesthetics. His approach to organ building emphasizes the use of natural materials, handcrafted in-house, along with the construction of solid wood casings and mechanical action systems. The organs are designed with classical principles in mind, including well-tempered tuning systems, making them both functional and artistically significant. His wife, Elisabeth Rohlf, who passed away in 2024, was also deeply involved in the business and contributed significantly to the music scene through her work with ensembles and as an educator.
