Ludwig Engländer

Ludwig Engländer (October 20, 1853 Vienna, Austrian Empire – September 13, 1914) was an Austrian Empire-born American composer of more than 30 musicals. He was born in Vienna, Austrian Empire. According to his obituary in The New York Times, he had studied with Jacques Offenbach. He immigrated to New York City on October 13, 1882, and became a naturalized American citizen on February 13, 1891. By the 1890s Engländer was composing prolifically, either for the New York stage, or popular songs (many of which were interpolated into various other productions including A Trip to Chinatown. Already by 1903 he had come in for criticism of his Teutonic sound. Perhaps for that reason he occasionally returned to Vienna near the end of his life to write musicals for that audience. The year before he died he is listed as having residence in Vienna. At the time of his death he was living in Far Rockaway, Queens, with his sister.

Birth and Death Data: Born Vienna (capital of and state in Austria), Died September 13, 1914 (Far Rockaway (neighborhood in borough of Queens, New York City, United States) )
