"FORTEPIANA. Fabryka fortepianów J. Schambacha & Merhauta w Lipsku, dzierzycielka Król. Pruskiego wielkiego srebrnego médalu nagrody z roku 1844., poleca się mi ującej kunszta publiczności niniejszćm najusilniej i u. wiadowmia ją jednoczesnie, iż Pan Ludwik Falk w Poznaniu ciągle utrzymije skład jéj instrumentów.

Schambach & Merhaut piano factory in Leipzig, holder of the Prussian King's Grand Silver Medal of 1844, hereby most strongly recommends itself to the audience of admirers of art and informs them at the same time that Mr. Ludwik Falk in Poznań still maintains a warehouse for its instruments. Leipzig, April 1846." Gazeta W. Xięstwa Poznańskiego, № 93, 22/04/1846, p. 3 (archive.org)

"The main shop for pianos in the shape of grands and squares, as well as improved mechanics of Vienna, has always introduced regulators and power supplies from 145 to 300 tal. - Unchanged in my trade, I will still be able to buy a new bull, and besides, I will be buying the instruments in the best possible way. The Aelodica has a new design. In addition, for those who are earning a living, I recommend my huge inventory of exactly the same and beautifully made three quartered and whole billiards of cedarwood species and the most exquisite decoration at steady prices (fair purchasers also pay the installments.) Unchanged in my trade, the bull remains, and in addition to the shortest distance I will make the purchase of instruments, the easiest way to get to the void as well has any exchange of old 6 octave instruments. Aelodica has a new design. In addition, for those on a payroll or for salvation, I would recommend my big stock of complete and beautifully made three quartered and whole billiards from the densely populated tree species and with the most exquisite decoration at steady prices (reliable buyers also letting the money down.) and accepts terms in different sizes. Make long distance calls. Poznan, in July 1844 Ludwik Falk, at 21 Szerokiej Street." [Google-translation] Amtsblatt der Königlichen Preußischen Regierung zu Bromberg, 1844, p. 709-710

The FIBIGER History Family

 

 

Pianoforte-maker ca. 1890-1948 [since 1878 (x1906)(x1912)(z1925)(x1926)]

FIBIGER Gustav Arnold was the founder of the FIBIGER factory

FIBIGER Gustaw II, successor

1926 - "Gustaw Fibiger - współwłaściciel firmy ARNOLD FIBIGER - Przemysłowiec i obywatel miasta Kalisza - po krótkich cierpieniach zmarł dnia 8-go grudnia r. b. - przeżywszy lat 45. - Wyprowadzenie zwłok z kościoła Ewangelickiego na cmentarz miejscowy nastąpi w sobotę; dnia 11 grudnia o godz. 3-ej po południu. - Na smutny ten obrzęd zapraszają krewnych, przyjaciół i znajomych, stroskani w nieutulonym żalu - Żona z dziećmi, brat, siostry i rodzina." -- [Google-translate] --
"
Gustaw Fibiger - co-owner of the ARNOLD FIBIGER company - An industrialist and citizen of Kalisz, he died after a short suffering on December 8th, at the age of 45. - The body will be removed from the Evangelical Church to the local cemetery on Saturday, December 11th, at 3:00 p.m. - Relatives, friends, and acquaintances are invited to this sad ceremony, sorrowful in inconsolable grief - his wife and children, brother, sisters, and family." Gazeta Kaliska : pismo codzienne, polityczne, społeczne i ekonomiczne, R.34, nr. 285, 11/12/1926, p. 1 (archive.org)

1929 - "Wie liegen nun die Dinge in der Klavierbranche ? Die polnischen Klavierfabriken sind sehr gut beschäftigt und können nicht genug liefern. Das ist kein Märchen, wie vielleicht mancher Leser annehmen wird. Das ist eine Tatsache, an die wir in Deutschland nur schwer glauben können. Die Zahl der in Polen bestehenden Klavierfabriken ist nicht übermäßig groß. Die alte und be­kannte, 1878 gegründete Firma Arnold Fibiger in Kalisch, mit einer Vorkriegs-Produktion von 2000 Instrumenten, genießt auch heute noch einen guten Ruf. Die Produktion ist zwar jetzt erheblich geringer, doch werden noch immer im Jahre 500 Flügel und Pianos hergestellt. Für die Firma Arnold Fibiger ist das russische Absatzgebiet verloren gegangen; ferner ist ein Arbeiter­mangel vorhanden. Ausländische Arbeiter erhalten keine Aufent haltsbewilligungen. Diese und andere wirtschaftliche Erwägungen waren für die Firma Arnold Fibiger entscheidend, die Produktion gegenüber der Vorkriegszeit wesentlich niedriger zu gestalten. [...] Arnold Fibiger in Kalisch zeigte eine statt­liche Zahl Pianos und Flügel. Ein gut gelungener, 220 cm langer Flügel soll besonders erwähnt werden. Die Firma Sommerfeld in Bromberg war mit 15 verschiedenen sehr geschmackvollen Instrumenten vertreten." Zeitschrift für Instrumentenbau, Bd.: 50, Leipzig, 15/10/1929, p. 54 (daten.digitale-sammlungen.de)

1948 - "We will produce pianos.
In 1878, the Fibiger piano factory was established in Kalisz. Fibiger pianos and upright pianos are famous throughout Poland to this day, and the export of pianos and upright pianos made in Kalisz abroad spread the fame of the Polish craftsman and manufacturer. - Before the war, there were three factories in Poland producing pianos and upright pianos. Today, none of them produce musical instruments. During the war, the Germans converted the Fibiger factory's production into furniture. - And today, over three years after the war, the Piano Factory under State Administration in Kalisz produces exclusively furniture. Beautiful, grained, veneered artistic furniture—only the name "Piano Factory" remains of the former production. - However, there is evidence that this name may already reflect the nature of the factory's production this year. - Why were no pianos produced at Fibiger's after the war? Because there was a shortage of auxiliary parts, and above all, piano actions, which the factory had been supplied with from abroad before the war. - Currently, contact has been established with the "Mechanism" factory in Paris, which has expressed its willingness to send the first shipments of piano actions. - In addition, a piano action factory will be opened this year in Lublin, in the Recovered Territories. - As can be seen from the above, the matter of resuming the production of pianos and upright pianos in Kalisz is not a fantasy, and perhaps this year, on the 70th anniversary of the factory's existence, the first pianos will be produced. Speaking of piano production, one very significant fact should be noted: in Poland, there are only a few skilled carpenters and technicians who can produce them. These people are mostly elderly. Their numbers are dwindling. It is essential that these people develop new professional talent. This will only be possible when the production of pianos and upright pianos resumes. There are such professionals at the Fibiger factory, and these people want to get back to their beloved work as quickly as possible.
However, before production of grand pianos and upright pianos begins, the factory releases beautiful furniture to the market. Furnishing the General Department Stores has become its specialty. - Among other things, this factory has produced furniture for the General Department Stores in Łódź and Kalisz. Currently, the Fibiger factory has received an order to produce furnishings for the General Department Store in Wrocław. - The workers employed at this factory have decided to participate in a labor competition as of May 1st of this year. The labor competition will cover the following areas: exceeding production standards, improving production quality, exemplary tool maintenance, and strict adherence to work discipline. - In order to inform potential competitors from other furniture factories about the production capabilities of the Fibiger Piano Factory under the State Administration in Kalisz, we inform you that the Kalisz factory exceeds the plan every month, in January of this year. It was 150% completed in February, 126% completed in March, and 137% completed in March. - The workers at the Kalisz factory are ready to compete with any furniture factory in Poland and will accept any challenge."
