Wolfgang Gert Stresemann (20 July 1904 – 6 November 1998) was a German jurist, orchestra leader, conductor and composer. He was the intendant of the Berliner Philharmoniker from 1959 to 1978 and again from mid 1984 to early 1985, a time when Herbert von Karajan served as music director.
Stresemann was the son of the German statesman and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Gustav Stresemann and his wife Käte, born Kleefeld.[1]
From 1939 to 1956, Stresemann lived in the United States with his mother.
Stresemann's daughter Christina (born 1957) was a judge at the Federal Court of Justice of Germany.
