The Marcussen company was founded in 1806 by Jürgen Marcussen (1781-1860). In the beginning he built under this name. In 1825 he associated with Reuter, after which the company was called Marcussen & Reuter. However, Reuter soon died, and the company continued under its old name. When his son Jürgen Jr. (1816-1900) became a partner in 1848, the firm was renamed Marcussen & Søn. Jürgen jr. had learned the trade from his father, but also worked for Walcker for several years (1842-1845). The intended successor, Jürgen Marcussen (1862-1897) died in August 1897 at the age of 35.
Shortly after 1900, the Zachariassen family joined the company as directors. The company built organs under this name for some time. An important organ builder was Sybrand Zachariassen (18-7-1900 - 11-10-1960), who had great international success with his neo-baroque concept. He ran the firm from the 1920s until his death.
