Ferdinand Heine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ferdinand Heine (9 March 1809 – 1894) was a German ornithologist and collector.

Heine had one of the largest private collection of birds in the nineteenth century. This is now housed at the Heineanum Halberstadt Museum in Halberstadt. Jean Cabanis wrote about the collection in Museum Heineanum. Verzeichniss der ornithologischen Sammlung des Oberamtmann Ferdinand Heine, auf Gut St. Burchard vor Halberstadt (1851).

Heine was a friend of Richard Wagner. On 14 September 1850, Wagner wrote to him to express his "terrible disgust over the banker-music whoring", i.e. the Jewish influence on finance and music.
