about
Johannes-Ernst Köhler (22 June 1910 –12 September 1990; also Johannes Ernst Köhler) was a German organist, cantor and organ teacher in Weimar. Köhler was born in 1910 in Meran in the South Tyrol, then part of Austria; after the First World War, it became part of Italy. During 1929–1933, Köhler studied church and school music in Halle and then at the Royal Music Institute of Berlin in Charlottenburg under Hans Chemin-Petit and Fritz Jöde: his organ teacher was the church musician and organist Wolfgang Reimann (1887–1971). In 1932–1933, he served as organist at the Berlin Philharmonie and spent the next year as organist at the Pauluskirche in Berlin-Lichterfelde. He was appointed in 1934 as city organist in Weimar at the Herderkirche, the church of St. Paul and Peter, with a simultaneous lecturership and then professorship at the Hochschule für Musik Franz Liszt until retirement in 1975. He died in Weimar in 1990. Köhler joined the Nazi Party in 1937. After the Second World War, Köhler became a member of the main board of the CDU in the Soviet occupation zone and the German Democratic Republic. On his suggestion, after 1946 special "Bach Days" were organised in Weimar. To mark the 700th anniversary of the city of Weimar, on 4 August 1950 "Bach Days" were initiated in the chapel of the Ducal Schloss at Weimar for what became legendary organ concerts; in 1962, however, the chapel was requisitioned for a political book store. In 1950 Köhler was appointed as Kirchenmusikdirektor
