from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Claus Gerhard Clauberg (born April 12, 1890 in Schwerin , † March 15, 1963 ibid) was a German musician, music teacher and composer.

Life

Claus Clauberg studied music in Leipzig. Stephan Krehl and Max Reger were among his teachers here. From 1912 to 1944 he worked as a répétiteur , piano accompanist and music teacher in Berlin. In 1921 he was hired by Rosa Valetti as a resident composer for her cabaret megalomania . In the cabaret smoke and mirrors and Norway rats were couplets and songs played by him. In the workers' cabaret Die Wespen , he set poems by Erich Weinert and Kurt Tucholsky ( Mother's hands ) to music . In 1928 Clauberg wrote the music for two films ( In the beginning there was the word ... 80 years of socialist workers' press and Freie Fahrt ). In the same year Carl Clauberg was a temporary member of the SPD. He wrote 60 pieces for Claire Waldoff alone. A total of around 90 songs were written by him. At the end of 1930 he went to the cabaret Die Pille . On February 11, 1936, the National Socialists imposed a performance ban, but only temporarily and only for radio. The ban was lifted again in December 1936. This happened, among other things, through the intervention of the head of the district headquarters of the NSDAP, Otto Nibuhr, who pointed out that Claus Clauberg had made himself available unselfishly for party events and had also made contributions to a National Socialist cabaret. Clauberg himself complained on July 22, 1936 about the ban and A. with reference to the fact that at the end of 1930 all relations with the left-wing circles had expired and that he had openly advocated Hitler, especially in artistic circles. His fight for a healthy song has been fixed for 16 years. "The Jews couldn't change that." From 1944 he was director of the music school Wittenberge / Schwerin.

After the end of the Second World War, Claus Clauberg lived in Schwerin and took part in the cultural new beginning in Mecklenburg. From 1953 to 1956 he helped to set up the folk music schools in Perleberg and Wittenberge and organized lecture evenings in Schwerin and other places in Mecklenburg. He was the country leader of the trade union for art and literature and worked as a music critic and publicist. Clauberg was a member of the Association of German Composers and Musicologists Schwerin. He composed chamber music, orchestral and instrumental works, two operas and songs to Low German texts.

His estate (music autographs, fragments of novels, death masks) is in the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania State Library Schwerin. His grave is in the old cemetery on Obotritenring in Schwerin.
