Sponsors and Friends
Their outstanding musical talent gave the two adolescent sons Paul and Rudolf access to the bourgeois urban society of Frankfurt. Well-situated families gave material and spiritual support to the Hindemith family, who lived in hard-pressed circumstances and Paul remained bound to them in gratitude for the rest of his life. He also made long-lasting friendships at Hoch's Conservatory. These families and friends included:
The Ronnefeldt family in Frankfurt
Professor Karl Schmidt in Friedberg
The Weber family from Aarau
Martha Braun in Reinach and Aarau
Irene Hendorf in Mainz
Emma Lübbecke-Job and Fried Lübbecke in Frankfurt
Werner Wehrli
Urian-Club in Frankfurt
