Life

Löschhorn took piano lessons with Ludwig Berger from 1837 and studied composition at the Royal Music Institute of Berlin after Berger's death (1839) with August Wilhelm Bach and Eduard Grell and piano with Berger's pupil Rudolph Killitschgy. After Killitschgy's death (1851), he took over his post as the first piano teacher at the institute. In 1858 he was appointed professor. He was a member of the Potsdam masonic lodge Teutonia zur Weisheit.[3][4]

Löschhorn died in 1905 at the age of 85 in Berlin and was buried at the Alter Zwölf-Apostel-Kirchhof in Schöneberg near Berlin. The grave is not preserved.[5][6]
