The City of Toronto will honour the memory of Paul Hahn, the 19th century German immigrant who built a business here which became synonymous with pianos and piano service. In the heyday of home pianos there was hardly a home in well-off Toronto that did not do business with Paul Hahn Pianos at 1058 Yonge Street. Considering all of this, the City will name the laneway which runs behind the original and continuing home of the business Paul Hahn Lane. It extends from Roxborough Ave to Gibson Ave. Paul Hahn came from Reutlingen, south of Stuttgart where he was born in 1875. He died at Balsam Lake in 1962. Hahn arrived in Canada in 1888 and settled in Toronto. He became a cellist and played professionally. His teachers included Rudolph Ruth in Toronto and Alwin Schroeder in Boston. Mr. Hahn Paul Hahn Lane to honour firm’s founder
