Klindworth-Scharwenka Conservatory
The Conservatory of Music Klindworth-Scharwenka was a music institute founded in Berlin in 1893 , which for decades enjoyed the reputation of an internationally renowned training center.
It emerged from the amalgamation of the Scharwenka Conservatory, founded by Xaver Scharwenka in 1881 and taken over by his brother Philipp , with Karl Klindworth's music school, which had existed since 1883 .
From 1908 the conservatory was located in its own building at Genthiner Str. 11 (Berlin-Tiergarten), which included two large concert halls, the Blüthner Hall and the Klindworth-Scharwenka Hall. In the early 1940s it was relocated to Berliner Str. 39, Berlin-Charlottenburg . From around 1950 to 1960 the institute was located at Braillestrasse 7 ( Berlin-Steglitz ). In 1960 teaching was stopped.
