Ludwig Strecker
Ludwig Philipp Carl Wilhelm Strecker (16 March 1853 – 19 December 1943) was a German businessman who owned the London-based music publishing house, Schott and Co., Limited. He inherited the London part of the business after working for its previous owner as legal council. The company was held by him and later his family until the Scott publishing house was brought back together in 1980 under the German company named Schott Music GmbH & Co.
Strecker was born to Ludwig Theodor Strecker, a lawyer, and Wilhelmina Friderika Caroline Conradine Franziska Bermann (maiden). At the age of ten, his father moved the family to Darmstadt. Strecker went on to earn a JD degree.
Strecker became the legal counsel of publisher B. Schott's Söhne when it was under Franz Schott's helm. In 1874, he inherited the London division of the publishing business.
In 1874, Strecker as devisee by descent and distribution under the Estate of Franz Schott became the owner of the London publishing business of B. Schott's Söhne. He was not related to the decedent but worked for him for many years. The London publishing firm stayed in his family, passing to his four children, until 1980, when it was merged back into B. Schott's Söhne of Mainz, Germany.
Franz Schott (1811–1874) – the oldest son of Johann Andreas Schott (1781–1840), who was the oldest son of Bernhard Schott – was the managing director and sole proprietor of B. Schott's Söhne from 1855 until his death. Franz, who had no children, stipulated in his will that B. Schott's Söhne be distributed after the death of his wife, Betty de Braunrasch (1820–1875), as follows:
In Strecker, Sr.'s, role as head of B. Schott's Söhne, he was a publisher for Richard Wagner, who made challenging demands that frequently culminated in financial duress. Nonetheless, Strecker, Sr., in a succession of renegotiations for moderate compromises, after each, was able to compensate Wagner. B. Schott's Söhne published Siegfried Idyll (1877) and Parsifal (1882).
Strecker was involved in the Mainz Oratorio Society (de), currently known as the Mainzer Singing Academy – which has endured for one hundred and ninety-four years. Strecker was its president for 25 years.
Strecker – on March 9, 1883, in Darmstadt – married Elisabeth Merck (maiden; 1862–1947), the daughter of Georg Franz Merck (1825–1873), a Darmstadt entrepreneur, and Antoinette Wilhelmine Caroline Schenck (maiden; 1830–1908). The couple had three sons and a daughter. When Ludwig Strecker, Sr., died in 1943, his oldest son, Ludwig Strecker Jr., took over the management of the publishing house with his second oldest son, Wilhelm as manager and director. Ludwig Strecker, Sr., is buried in the main cemetery in Mainz.
