Thread: Descendants of Robert and Clara Schumann

Hi Everyone,

I am a retired professor of psychology (with a ****** from Juilliard, in
composition). I give occasional talks (with some piano illustrations)
to senior groups.
I will be giving such a talk in April on the topic of the celebration
worldwide of the 200th anniversary of the birth of Robert Schumann.
I am interested in learning if there are descendants of Robert and
Clara Schumann , perhaps some still living. What became of the
seven out of the eight children they had who survived until adulthood?
Any information about this will be helpful to me, as senior groups
usually ask if there are children who survived these parents, and
what happened to them.

Best wishes to all,
Robert H. Roth

Hi Robert, I am trying to find the connection between Robert Schumann and Hildegard Marie Luise Schumann,
According to my mother her lineage is through the male descendants of Robert Schumann, she was the only child of her father, thus the name line was ended with her, she married a Johann Georg Reinhold Hauf in Prenden, Germany, and moved with him to Berlin, Germany where they had a child called Hans Hauf who in turn had me. So according to this I would indeed be the as direct as possible descendant of Robert Schumann, given that the direct lineage in Germany is passed through the male descendants... Any more information on this would be welcome. Thank you and greetings!
