Place
1863Boulay-sur-Moselle (Bolchen)


  • Company from the Moselle region, founded by the French Nicolas-Etienne Dalstein (Freisdorf (Freistroff), June 15, 1834 - Boulay-sur-Moselle (Bolchen), October 26, 1902) (from Lorraine) and the German Johann-Karl Haerpfer or Härpfer (Nördlingen, June 17, 1835 - Bolchen, October 19, 1909) from Nördlingen in Bayern. Also active in the company was Nicolas-Etienne's older brother, Jean-François Dalstein (Freisdorf, April 13, 1826 - Bolchen, February 6, 1890).
  • Haerpfer learned the trade in Germany from Steinmeijer and Walcker, and in Switzerland from Haas. Dalstein was an employee of Cavaillé-Coll during the construction of the organ in Saint-Sulpice in Paris. The company was founded in 1863 in Boulay-sur-Moselle (called Bolchen in German). In 1895 they delivered the hundredth new organ, a monumental instrument for the parish church of Hayange (Hayingen).
  • In 1909 the management of the company was taken over by the sons of both founders, Fritz or Fréderic Haerpfer (1879-1956) and Paul Dalstein (Ottonville, April 6, 1868 - Metz, 1926). From 1919 the company was continued by Fréderic under his own name.
