  • Heinrich Voit was born on March 18, 1834 in Durlach. He was the eldest son of Louis Voit (1802-1883), an organ maker in Durlach since 1828. Louis continued the business of his stepfather Ludwig Burgy, who had taken over the company from Louis' father, Johann Volkmar Voit. The company goes back to 1794, when it took over the workshop from Georg Marcus Stein. Heinrich had been a partner of his father since 1858. The company Voit has grown under Heinrich Voit into a very large company. He worked with his sons Emil (October 10, 1865 - March 12, 1924), Siegfried (September 2, 1870 - May 11, 1939), Heinrich junior (1871 - 1926) and Julius (1883 - 1955). Heinrich died in Durlach in October 1914.
  • The company was dissolved in April 1938. At that time, Siegfried Voit was the manager.
