Mücke, Franz 01/24/1819 - 02/08/1863

Royal music director and composer. His name is inseperably linked to the Märkische Volksgesangsfeste and the Märkische Sängerbund. Together with Carl Müller, an owner of a book printing shop in Eberswalde, Franz Mücke organized the first Märkisch Volksgesangsfest at the waterfall on July 11, 1847. 12 choirs with 400 singers performed there. Every year from then on, the singers met there for the competition.
