Especially with the Berlin and Leipzig radio sound institutions, he brought numerous contemporary works to the world premieres. He also recorded the complete choral works of Johannes Brahms. In Essen he could realize the complete Ring by Wagner.
Life
Greiz origin
Hauschild was born in 1937 as son[1] of the journalist and dramaturge Franz Hauschild (1907–1996) in Greiz.[2] His father was co-founder of the "Greizer Musikwochen" and the "Stavenhagen-Wettbewerb".[3] At the age of five, Hauschild received his first piano lessons, later he took up theatre.[4] Looking back he remembered Käthe Reichel, Reimar Johannes Baur and Dieter Franke with whom he had played in Greiz.[4] Early he began composing, among others he wrote a Children opera [de].[4] From the age of fifteen he composed incidental musics for the theatre of his home town.[4] As a high school student he also received musical composition lessons from Ottmar Gerster in Leipzig.[4]
From 1963 to 1970 Hauschild was musical director at the Kleist Theater[6] and permanent conductor of the Brandenburgisches Staatsorchester Frankfurt.[10] His tasks there extended accordingly to both the music theatre [de] and the concert series.[6] His repertoire included among others Verdi, Mozart and Bizet.[4] In 1966 he conducted the Kurt Hübenthal's production of Georg Friedrich Handel's opera Serse. He was also responsible for the world premiere of the symphonic work Schwedter Impulse by Nikolai Badinski[11] as well as the GDR premiere of the opera Der zerbrochene Krug by Zbynik Vostrak[12] and The Rake's Progress by Stravinsky.[4] Because of its proximity to Berlin, as Hauschild explained, renowned singers such as Reiner Süß could be won for roles.[4] With the politician Erich Mückenberger, Hauschild at the time advocated a new venue, the future Konzerthalle Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach [de].[4]
Choral conducting with the RSO and Rundfunkchor Leipzig
After conducting works by Luciano Berio in Leipzig in late 1977, Hauschild became principal conductor of the MDR Leipzig Radio Symphony Orchestra and in parallel head of the MDR Rundfunkchor Leipzig.[10] He was able to assert himself against the Leipzig general music director Rolf Reuter and the Halle music director Thomas Sanderling, all of whom had been engaged as guest conductors by the legendary predecessor Herbert Kegel.[10] In Leipzig, Hauschild maintained the First Viennese School,[21] thus he continued the "Mozartiana" series begun by Kegel.[22] He also continued to put Concert performances on the programme (Janáček, Wagner among others).[21] On the other hand, he brought with the symphony orchestra and the chamber orchestra various Neue Musik works to world premieres – 1978 Edison Denisov' Konzert für Klavier und Orchester (with Günter Philipp), 1979 Lombardi's Sinfonie, Neubert's Notturno, Lohse's Konzert für Klavier und Orchester (with Gerhard Erber) and Dessau's Vierzehn Stücke aus "Internationale Kriegsfibel" (with Helga Termer, Elisabeth Wilke, Horst Gebhardt and Bernd Elze), 1980 Katzer's Konzert für Klavier und Orchester (with Rolf-Dieter Arens) and Wallmann's Stadien für Orchester und Klavier (with Bettina Otto),[23] 1981 Schenker's "Fanal Spanien 1936", 1983 Lombardis Zweite Sinfonie and Krätzschmar's Heine-Szenen (with Wolfgang Hellmich).[24] He was also responsible for several DDR premieres among others in 1979 Ives's Holiday Symphony[25] and 1984 Zimmermann's Pax Questuosa[26] and Dittrich's Etym.[27] Like Kegel before him, he always placed contemporary music before Beethoven's 9th Symphony at the end of the season.[28] Moreover, he again invited composer-conductors to Leipzig, such as Milko Kelemen, Ernst Krenek and Witold Lutosławski.[28] With the 1979/80 season he introduced weekly morning concerts in the Kongreßhalle Leipzig.[28] After the opening of the Neue Gewandhaus in Leipzig in 1981, the Rundfunkorchester played regularly in the new concert building.[29] This was followed by an increase in the number of concerts.[29] Hauschild made several recordings with the orchestra, ranging from the music of Telemann and Schumann to Ives, Denissow, Thiele and Krätzschmar,[30] including the complete choral works of Johannes Brahms and several oratorios by Handel.[13] Extensive guest performances took him among others to the Soviet Union with the Orchestra[21] and Japan.[31] After his departure from Leipzig, it took two seasons before the leadership positions could be filled again with Max Pommer (orchestra) and Jörg-Peter Weigle (choir).[32]
In the course of his opera performances in Leipzig, Berlin and Dresden, Hauschild became the "Wagner conductor of the hour" by the mid-1980s, as Robert Schuppert put it.[33] At the turn of the year 1984/85, he conducted the orchestra which performed in the Palast der Republik in Berlin with the participation of the Leipziger Rundfunkklangkörper and the soloists Reiner Goldberg, Magdalena Falewicz, Uta Priew and Hermann Christian Polster Beethoven's 9. Sinfonie, which was broadcast live on the first channel of the Deutscher Fernsehfunk.[34] Hauschild became internationally known in February 1985 through the television broadcast of the Joachim Herz' production of Weber's Der Freischütz, which he presented on the occasion of the Commemoration of 13 February 1945 in Dresden [de] (40th anniversary of the destruction of Dresden) for the reopening of the Semperoper.[35] His conducting was highly praised by John Rockwell in the New York Times.[36] The Dresden musicologist Dieter Härtwig (2007) rated Hauschild "among the leading conductors in the GDR".[37]
Relocation to the BRD and Stuttgart
After an originally promised[37] double engagement Leipzig-Stuttgart did not come about due to "the rigid attitude of the GDR authorities", as Jörg Clemen explained,[10] Hauschild settled in Stuttgart in spring 1985 on the occasion of a guest performance.[38] There he became Generalmusikdirektor and chief conductor at the beginning of the 1985/86 season of the Stuttgarter Philharmoniker.[39] In a statement, he explained that in the summer of 1984, the city of Stuttgart approached him with the request for a permanent guest conducting position, whereby he would take over some of Hans Zanotelli's tasks. After the GDR authorities agreed to this, he agreed in Stuttgart. In April 1985, however, he realized that the GDR authorities "were no longer fully committed to their promise". He felt that he had a duty to the orchestra members and to the Stuttgart city administration and decided "with a heavy heart" to move to the BRD.[40] In the GDR, on the other hand, he was declared persona non grata and was henceforth also known among fellow musicians as a notorious "class enemy [de]" his family only received permission to leave the country two years later.[38] In 1985, Hauschild conducted the premiere in the Stuttgart Liederhalle, of Kelemen's Phantasmen (with Eckart Schloifer) and in 1987 Yun I-sang's 2. Violin Concerto (with Akiko Tatsumi).[41] Concert tours with the Philharmonic have taken him through Europe, Japan and the USA.[37] According to the cultural journalist Frank Armbruster, he took the orchestra "to a high point in its history.[42] In the end, however, Hauschild left Stuttgart because "he had not succeeded in convincing the city of the need for additional orchestra positions for the Philharmonic," as Armbruster remarked.[42]
In 1991 Hauschild became conductor of the Saalbau Essen[46] and in 1992 additionally artistic director and general music director of the Aalto-Theater,[47] a dual function created especially for him.[48] During his term of office the orchestra was awarded the prize "Best Concert Programme of the Season" 1991/92 by the Deutscher Musikverleger-Verband [de].[49] In his era the ballets Giselle by Adolphe Adam and Der grüne Tisch by Fritz Cohen as well as the operas Lady Macbeth von Mzensk by Dmitri Shostakovich and Tosca by Puccini were staged.[50] At the Aalto Theatre, however, he devoted himself above all to the works of Richard Wagner, so he had Parsifal (1991/92) and Tristan und Isolde (1992/93) performed here. After seventy years, from 1994 to 1997, together with the director Klaus Dieter Kirst, whom he knew from Dresden, he brought the tetralogy Der Ring des Nibelungen to the stage.[51] Already in GDR times, he had developed a "love for Wagner" through the symphonic works of Bruckner and Mahler, which, however, had to remain "platonic" for a long time, as he explained in an earlier interview. [33] Hauschild also turned his attention to contemporary Eastern European music, premiering Suslin's Farewell in 1993 and Denissow's Concerto for Flute, Clarinet and Orchestra (with Dagmar Becker and Wolfgang Meyer) in 1996. His engagement in Essen ended in 1997.
From 2001 to 2004 he was the successor of the permanent guest conductor Bernhard Klee[53] and Chief conductor of the Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Halle.[54] In 2003 he premiered Jean-Christophe Marti's H aspiré at the Neues Theater Halle.[55] With reference to the planned orchestra merger, which he rejected, he ended his engagement with the Philharmonic State Orchestra early.[56]
Besides his engagement in Halle, he was Generalmusikdirektor of the Volkstheater Rostock and Chefdirigent of the Norddeutsche Philharmonie Rostock from August[13] 2002 until 2004,[57] where he became a permanent guest conductor in 2000.[58] Because, as he later explained, he could not find "an artistic and human consensus" with the artistic director Steffen Piontek, he left the orchestra.[57]
Hauschild had been a guest conductor in Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Spain, Finland, Taiwan and other countries.[13]
In 1983 he founded the "Seminar for Young Opera Conductors" in Altenburg.[60] Repeatedly he was then also artistic director for orchestral conducting at the Dirigentenforum [de] of the Deutscher Musikrat (Essen 1994, Koblenz 1998 and 2005, Halle (Saale) 2001, Rostock 2002 and 2004 and Bremen 2006).[61] In the winter semester 2005/06 and the summer semester 2007 he was Docent for auditions in the orchestra / symphony concert at Orchesterzentrum NRW [de].[62]
Hauschild, a Protestant, married in 1959 and was the father of two children.[65] His son Thomas Hauschild (born 1964) is a professor of horn at the University of Music and Theatre Leipzig.[66]
Hauschild died in Leipzig on 18 May 2023, at the age of 85.[67]

Klasse für Kunst und Literatur "for his outstanding achievements as principal conductor of the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Leipzig and the Rundfunkchor Leipzig as well as for his groundbreaking interpretations of works of the classical heritage and for the cultivation of the contemporary music of the GDR in the field of choral symphony"[70]
