Carl Stiehl , also Karl , completely Carl Johann Christian Stiehl (* July 12, 1826 in Lübeck ; † December 1, 1911 ibid) was a German music teacher, musicologist, conductor and music librarian.

Live and act

Stiehl was a son of Johann Jochim Diedrich Stiehl (born July 9, 1800 in Lübeck; † June 27, 1872 ibid), who learned to play the organ from Matthias Andreas Bauck and was his successor in 1835 as organist and foreman of the Jakobikirche . Heinrich Stiehl was his brother. Carl Stiehl studied in Weimar with Johann Christian Lobe and followed him to Leipzig to the local conservatory, today's University of Music and Theater "Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy" Leipzig .

He initially worked in Jever from 1848 to 1858 as a teacher for organ and singing and as an organist at the town church. During this time he also conducted the two singing societies in Jever and in neighboring Varel, which are highly respected in the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg . In 1858 he became organist at the St. Michaelis Church in Eutin and from 1860 at the same time court conductor at Eutin Castle . In 1877 he returned to Lübeck. Here he gave singing lessons, headed the Singakademie as music director from 1878 to 1901 and conducted the concerts of the Musikverein and, in its successor, the Philharmonic concerts from 1886 to 1896 . From 1883 onwards he headed the music department of the city ​​library . In 1891 the Grand Duke of Oldenburg awarded him the title of Professor for his music history in the Principality of Lübeck .

Stiehl's particular importance lies in the field of music history. He researched and described the music and theater history of Lübeck and discovered the importance of the Dübensammlung for the transmission of Dietrich Buxtehude's works on a study trip to Sweden in 1888 .
