Life

Paul Mittmann was initially trained at the Habelschwerdt teacher training college. In 1893 he went to Breslau as a teacher, where he was trained in music by Georg Riemenschneider parallel to his work . From 1899 he worked as organist and choir director at St. Michael in Breslau , and in 1900 received the title of royal Prussian music director. From 1913 he gave concerts in the Wroclaw Centennial Hall on what was then the world's largest organ .

As a composer, Mittmann created numerous works for male, female and mixed choir, piano songs and church music.
