History

In 1823, Heinrich Albert Probst (1791-1846) founded his Leipzig publishing firm, and achieved substantial success relatively early. However, after 13 years, he sold the firm to Carl Friedrich Kistner (1797-1844) in 1836. Probst later became Breitkopf's Paris agent, purchasing the rights for works of Chopin and others for them1. 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 composers 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. At this point Siegel, 80 years old, had a stock of 16891 editons, while Kistner, 100 years old, had 10924 editions. 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.
