Life

Wilhelm Lindeck was the son of Rabbi Benedikt Levi , who had been the town rabbi of Gießen since 1829 and the Grand Ducal Hessian rabbi of the province of Upper Hesse from 1842 to 1897 . His brother Hermann Levi was a well-known composer and conductor of the 19th century.

Wilhelm Lindeck converted to Catholicism . He studied at the Hessian Ludwig University and was active in the Corps Starkenburgia in 1852 . He came from a reform Jewish musical family and was a trained opera bassist. As an authorized signatory of the Ladenburg bank in Mannheim (1869), he changed the family name from Levi to Lindeck. Lindeck became known through his correspondence with the composer Johannes Brahms , published by the Mannheim City Archives , for whom he worked for a long time at Bankhaus Ladenburg as an asset manager. Brahms dedicated the manuscript of the song Feldeinsamkeit , Opus 86, No. 2: "I rest quietly in the tall green grass" to him. Around 1905 Wilhelm Lindeck became bank director of the Süddeutsche Disconto-Gesellschaft , a holding company of the Ladenburg bank, which merged into Deutsche Bank in 1929.

Wilhelm Lindeck's written estate is in the Mannheim City Archives . He was married to Emma Bieger (1838–1915). The Mannheim lawyer Anton Lindeck , member of the Provisional Reich Economic Council , was her son. The grave in the main cemetery in Mannheim is adorned with a profiled shell limestone stele with a writing field and ivy relief in the gable area.
