Life

Adolf Zander worked as a musician and teacher, and in particular, he devoted himself to choral music. So, he founded in 1881 the "Zander Quartet Society". From 1877 to 1880 he was the second Conductor of the Berlin Men's Choir "Liedeslust" and in 1884 led both choirs together in the new Berlin Liedertafel.

Zander lived in Berlin around 1880 at 26 Höchste Straße, later at 16 Krautstraße and about 1895 on Graefestraße.[1] He was buried on 7 September 1914 at the old Friedhof II der Sophiengemeinde Berlin cemetery in Berlin-Mitte.
