Life
Hohenemser studied musicology at the Berlin University from 1892 to 1896 with Philipp Spitta , Heinrich Bellermann and Oskar Fleischer . From 1896 to 1899 he continued his studies at the University of Munich , where he was one of Adolf Sandberger's students and received his doctorate in 1899.
From 1905 he lived in Berlin, from 1919 in his hometown Frankfurt. He later moved back to Berlin.
Because of his Jewish origins, he was one of those persecuted by the Nazi regime from 1933. Most recently he lived in Berlin-Lankwitz , Havensteinstrasse 26.
To avoid deportation , he and his wife took their own life there on April 8, 1942 by emitting gas. His niece Elisabeth Schumacher b.
