(or NEGÈLE | NOÉGELÉ | MAIGELE | MAYGELÉ | NEGELÉ). NÄGELÉ and Guillaume ZIMMERMANN (° 1780), shared the same address at 15, rue de la Tissanderie. The signature of the square piano of Nägelé of 1785 favors the spelling "Tixérandérie". Apprentice to Guillaume ZIMMERMANN in the early 1780s, Jean Nägelé had the opportunity to see the growing daughter of his mentor, Marie Anne Françoise Sophie Louise (born in 1781), whom he married; but she died very young, at the age of 20, on 30 Brumaire of the year X (21.11.1801). This is probably why Nägelé will continue the workshop of his father-in-law at 103, rue de la Tixéranderie (after his death in 1801), alone first of all, then with the son, Pierre Guillaume ZIMMERMANN, born in 1787. The workshop will go bankrupt in 1810, but Pierre Guillaume Zimmermann will resume the activity at the same address until his early death, at the age of 32, in 1819.
A piano of this factor is currently preserved at the Smithsonian Institution in the United States.
