A long family tradition is the basis for much experience on the one hand, on the other it is a challenge for a productive analysis of the achievements of previous generations.

The history of our company started in the 18th century when in 1742 Johann Georg Späth, coming from Hohenmemmingen in Swabia, built the first church organ for Faurndau and when Jacob Späth invented the tangent door together with his son-in-law. In each generation of the Späth family various sons chose the profession of an organ builder, among them Emil and Hubert Späth. The two left the seat of the family in Ennetach in 1909 and took over the business of Heinrich Spaich in the Swiss town Rapperswil. Today, two organ building companies of the Späth-dynasty which are independent of each other still exist in Germany, one in Freiburg/Breisgau and the other in Ennetach.

In Rapperswil the brothers Späth according to their era started with the building of tubular pneumatic organs. Through the esteem for the Romantic movement organs of this time come back into favour.
