Stern Conservatory Berlin
| The Stern Conservatory of Music was privately owned by Jews and was then brought into line under National Socialism, so that the owners were de facto expropriated in 1936. The institute was now called the Conservatory of the Reich capital Berlin. Immediately after Berlin was conquered by the Red Army in 1945, classes were resumed by some teachers. In 1948 it was renamed the Municipal Conservatory and in 1950 the school added the addition of “formerly Stern Conservatory” to its name. In 1949 the company moved into rooms at Reichpietschufer 52-54, in 1955 the conservatory moved to the building at Bundesallee 1-12 in Wilmersdorf, in the former Joachimsthal’sche Gymnasium. The Berlin Musical Instrument Museum was temporarily housed there. In February 1946 the composer Heinz Tiessen became director. After he resigned in 1949, the musicologist, writer, singer and composer Hans Joachim Moser took over this position in January 1950. There were protests against his appointment, as he was burdened both by his writings and by his work in Goebbels Propaganda Ministry. After Moser’s retirement in 1960, the musicologist and music critic Kurt Westphal became director in 1962 Degree |
