Ludwig Kelbetz, around 1941

Ludwig Kelbetz (born June 18, 1905 in Graz , Styria , Austria-Hungary , † January 10, 1943 near Stalingrad , Soviet Union ) was an Austrian music educator, philologist, sports teacher and author. He is considered the father of the Styrian music school system, especially since the didactic methodology and organizational forms of today's music schools can still be traced back to him despite his clear Nazi reference.

Ludwig Kelbetz attended the Bundesrealschule II in his hometown . From 1925 he studied German language and literature and physical exercises at the Karl-Franzens University in Graz as well as music ( flute , piano , organ ) at the Conservatory of the Musikverein for Styria .

In 1932/33 he switched to the German University of Physical Education in Berlin-Charlottenburg as a lecturer for music and movement . In 1933 he was the last Federal Chancellor of the German Freischar and was music advisor to the German Employees' Association of the German Labor Front (DAF), Berlin.

Between 1934 and 1936 he was a lecturer in physical education and music education at the teacher training college in Gdansk - Langfuhr . Then Kelbetz , who joined the NSDAP in 1936, was music advisor to the Hitler Youth (HJ), which was still illegal in Austria at the time, and worked as a lecturer and head of the music and movement department at the Graz Conservatory until 1938 . After the occupation of Austria, the so-called “ Anschluss ” to the German Reich in March 1938, he became its acting director.

In addition, he acted in 1938/39, succeeding Hermann Ritter von Schmeidel (1894–1953) as acting head of the Musikverein for Styria , was a music advisor in the HJ regional staff Styria and gau music editor Styria of the German People's Education Association in the DAF. Between 1939 and 1943 he was deputy director and chairman of the seminar for teachers at the music schools for youth and people and for private music teachers .

At the State College for Music Education Graz-Eggenberg , founded by him, Hanns (Johann Baptist Emil Othmar) Holenia (1890–1972), Josef Friedrich Papesch (1893–1968) and Konrad Stekl (1901–1979) , he became a personnel officer and leader of the National Socialist German Lecturer Association (NSD-Dozentbund), also head of the Styrian music schools for youth and people and music representative of the Hitler Youth for the area and Obergau Austria.
