Carl Seemann (8 May 1910 − 26 November 1983) was a German church musician, pianist, piano teacher and director of the Musikhochschule Freiburg.
His teachers were Karl Straube, Günther Ramin, Kurt Thomas and Carl Adolf Martienssen.
From 1935 he devoted himself mainly to his career as a pianist and to teaching - Seemann subsequently held professorships and master classes in Kiel, Strasbourg and Freiburg im Breisgau.
Many recordings, but especially the duo performances with the violinist Wolfgang Schneiderhan, made Seemann one of the greats of post-war German musical life.
Nevertheless, public attention turned to the increasingly dominant Russian master pianists such as Emil Gilels, Vladimir Horowitz and Svjatoslav Richter.
