Hermann Mendel (6 August 1834 – 26 October 1876) was a German musicologist.
He founded the Musikalisches Conversations-Lexikon,[1] which was published in Berlin from 1870 on and was further edited by August Reissmann (1825-1903) after Mendel's death. His Taschenliederbuch with texts of more than 500 German songs reached countless editions.[2]
Mendel died probably in Berlin at the age of 42.
