Friedrich Mahling married the pastor's daughter Emilie Wilhelmine Ida Amalie Palmer on November 3, 1892 in Hamburg (born December 11, 1872 in Geinsheim in Hesse ). From this marriage came

  • Marie Magdalena Elisabeth (born September 1, 1893 in Hamburg; † October 30, 1981 Berlin-Schöneberg);
  • Walther Friedrich Otto (born September 28, 1895 in Hamburg, † September 4, 1896 in Hamburg)

  • Theodor Eberhard Friedrich Mahling (born August 2, 1899 in Hamburg; † 1945), musicologist and anthroposophist. Dr. In 1934, Friedrich Mahling was a professor at the Berlin University of Music and head of the press and culture office of the Reichsmusikkammer . He lost this office in June 1935 because of "cultural and political unreliability", but continued to teach at the University of Music in Berlin, where Reich Education Minister Rust had awarded him the title of extraordinary professor. He was a member of the Anthroposophical Society. According to Peter Staudenmaier, Mahling had been active in National Socialist cultural policy since 1932 and joined the NSDAP in 1933.

In May 1936 he was "exonerated" by the party authorities and one month later he was appointed professor of music at the Hochschule für Musik in Berlin. He remained a party member (at least in February 1943) and continued to receive excellent reviews from his superiors.
