Walther Carl Meiszner (born Walther Carl Hermann Meißner 12 November 1896 – 15 November 1931) was a German classical pianist and academic teacher.

Life Family Born in Berlin, he came from the Brandenburg family Meißner, which can be traced back to the beginning of the 18th century in Bochow near Groß Kreutz. He was the son of the physician and medical officer Paul Ludwig Konrad Meißner (8 July 1867 in Schwetz, West Prussia - March 1950 in Charlottenburg) and Alma Köhler, a merchant's daughter (4 October 1869 in Schwetz - 23 November 1935 in Berlin-Charlottenburg). The father was first a doctor in Nowe, West Prussia and was based in Charlottenburg since 1920. Meißner's aunt was the concert singer Lucie Martha Mathilde Meißner (13 June 1862 in Schwetz - 8 December 1898 in Berlin), who had studied piano and singing in Berlin, where she received brilliant reviews including for performing with the Berliner Singakademie in front of William I, German Emperor .
