History

The firm was founded in 1823 by Heinrich Albert Probst (1791-1846) but was renamed after its acquisition by Carl Friedrich Kistner (1797-1844) in 1836. Kistner expanded the firm substantially, adding works by contemporary German composers like Schumann, Mendelssohn, Moscheles, Gade, Joachim and Hiller. In the decades following Kistner's death, the emphasis on German and Central European composer's continued, with first editions by Liszt, Reinecke, Smetana, Franz and Bruch. The Kistner firm was sold in 1919 to brothers Carl and Richard Linnemann, proprietors of the rival Leipzig publisher C. F. W. Siegel since 1869. The name was changed to Kistner & Siegel in 1923. Though devasted the by allied bombing of Leipzig in 1944-45, the firm re-opened after the war in West Germany in 1948.
