FEC Leuckart Verlag

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The FEC Leuckart Verlag is a music publisher based in Munich today . The publishing house was founded in 1782 as a music store in Breslau by Franz Ernst Christoph Leuckart (1748–1817). After his death in 1817, his widow continued the business. After the unmarried son Karl August Ferdinand Leuckart died, the daughter Auguste Henriette Leuckart took over the publishing house together with her husband Johann Carl Wilhelm Sander. Since then it has been continuously owned by the Sander family, most recently by Marco Sander since 1983.

The publishing house moved to Leipzig in 1870 and was destroyed in the course of the air raids on Leipzig during World War II.

In 1941, the then owner Horst Sander acquired the Ernst Eulenburg music publisher as part of an " Aryanization " process . After Sander's death in captivity, his family left Leipzig at the end of May / beginning of June 1945 - according to their own statements on the advice of the American occupying power at the time - and moved to Munich . After transferring the Eulenburg publishing house back to the original owner Kurt Eulenburg and the dissolution of the Leipziger Horst Sander KG , under which the Eulenburg publishing house operated, the Leuckart publishing house received a US publishing license in December 1948.
