Dr Koeller: Alexandra Terrace

Dr Koeller and his family (including Margaret Robinson) lived at Alexandra Terrace. Dr Koeller was born in Germany and was a naturalised British citizen. At the beginning of the First World War Dr Koeller was interned by the British government due to public anti-German hostility. Internments were carried out for the safety of the individual as much as for the British population. Dr Koeller was a distinguished musician composing music for the suffragettes and was the conductor of the Ulster Philharmonic Orchestra.
