Life

Kaibel, a son of the actor Carl Ludwig Kaibel (and brother of the actor Emil Kaibel ?) Came to Lübeck in 1830 as a teacher at Matthias Leithoff's institute . On February 1, 1837, together with Philipp Friedrich Ludwig Hoffmann, he founded the first shop specializing in art and music in Lübeck under the Hoffmann & Kaibel company .

The Kaibel family's shop and apartment were initially located in Königstrasse 83 (then Johannis Quartier 855). A loan institute for sheet music and performance material was attached . Later a separate publishing house was added. From 1848 to 1903 the music store and pianoforte magazine was located in Breite Straße 35 (formerly 787 Jakobi Quartier), which was then demolished around 1908.

FW Kaibel managed the company until 1861 and passed it on to his son Carl Ludwig Kaibel, who died in 1880. His widow Henriette Kaibel continued the business. In 1884 he was still able to experience the takeover of the music store from Otto Behrens and thus a significant expansion of the company. Georg Kaibel was another son.

In his publishing house FW Kaibel he published compositions of almost all regional composers of his time as well as composers associated with Lübeck such as Karl Grammann . There were also chorale books such as the chorale melody book published by Johann Wilhelm Bartholomäus Rußwurm for all the songs in the Ratzeburg hymn book (1838), regional literature , Geibel memorabilia and pamphlets. From John William Harmston , he sold over 230 piano compositions as well as his photographs.

He had a library with important musical works, which his grandson of the same name donated to the city ​​library in 1891 .

The transition of the company to the grandchildren in the form of (Friedrich) Wilhelm Kaibel (* 1873) in 1901 failed. On April 1, 1903, Ernst Robert and Gustav Schulz took over the music store and moved into a new building at Breiten Straße 40. The business was run as the Ernst Robert music store from 1913 , at Breite Straße 29 from 1919 and existed until March 2006.

His granddaughter Luise Kaibel (* 1866) became a music teacher and founded a private conservatory in 1911, which later became the Lübeck University of Music .
