From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Franz Wüllner (born 28 January 1832 in Münster, died 7 September 1902 in Braunfels) was a German composer and conductor. He led the premieres of Wagner's operas Das Rheingold and Die Walküre, but was much criticized by Wagner himself, who greatly preferred the conductors Hans von Bülow and Hermann Levi.
