Engelbert Röntgen (30 September 1829 – 12 December 1897)[1] was a German violinist, for many years concertmaster of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra.

Life

He was born in Deventer in the Netherlands, the son of Johann Röntgen, a German merchant, and his Dutch wife. He entered the Conservatorium der Musik at Leipzig in 1848, where he was a pupil of the violinist Ferdinand David.[2][3]

In 1850 Röntgen became a member of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, in 1869 the second concertmaster and in 1873 he took David's place as first concertmaster of the orchestra.[1] He remained in the orchestra until his death in 1897.[1] He was also a teacher in the Conservatorium.[2][3]

In 1861 he acquired the Lipinski Stradivarius; the violin remained with Röntgen and his descendants for three generations.[3]

Family

Röntgen married Friedericke Pauline Klengel, daughter of Moritz Klengel [de], himself concertmaster at the Gewandhaus for many years. They had a son and two daughters; their son Julius Röntgen became a pianist and composer.[2][3]
