The Musical Tour: The World of Welte connects exciting city and music history with a lively demonstration at the Augustinermuseum Freiburg. On Saturday, July 11, 2026, the format takes you into the world of the Freiburg company M. Welte & Sons, which set international standards with flute clocks, orchestrions, organs, and the Welte-Mignon reproduction piano.

A glimpse into a sonorous inventor's world

The fascination for mechanical musical instruments and the technical finesse behind the historical sound bodies is at the center of this tour. The tour explains how Welte shaped the music world and why the Welte organ remains one of the special exhibition objects of the house to this day.

Musical demonstration with atmosphere

A musical demonstration rounds off the historical explanations and gives the event experience an immediate, sensory touch. This creates a mix of expertise, audience mood, and acoustic closeness, which can only be achieved by a museum experience with live performance.

If you want to not only see Freiburg's music history but also hear and understand it, you will experience a compact, special appointment with real added value here. The Musical Tour: The World of Welte invites you to discover the museum live and experience the sound world of the Welte company on-site.
