Life
Life
Zander was born in Barnewitz an der Havel (today part of Märkisch Luch). He worked as a musician and teacher, and in particular, he devoted himself to choral music. He founded, in 1881, the "Zander Quartet Society". From 1877 to 1880, he was the second conductor of the Berlin male voice choir "Liederlust", and in 1884 led both choirs together in the new Berlin Liedertafel. Zander lived in Berlin around 1880 at 26 Höchste Straße, later at 16 Krautstraße, finally about 1895 on Graefestraß'. He died in Kleinaupa, Riesengebirge, aged 71, and was buried on the old Friedhof II der Sophiengemeinde Berlin cemetery in Berlin-Mitte.
