He was the twelfth and youngest child of the Kantor and schoolmaster Adam Loewe (?-1826), from whom he received his first musical education. When he was 12 he was sent to the Francke Institute in Halle, where his attractive manner, excellent high voice, and early ability to improvise brought him to the attention of Jerome Bonaparte, who granted him stipend of 300 thalers annually until 1813. His teacher was Daniel Gottlob Türk, the head of the Francke Institute; after Turk's death in 1813, Loewe joined the Singakademie founded by Johann Friedrich Naue. He also studied theology at the University of Halle, but soon devoted himself entirely to music. He had begun to compose as a boy; under the influence of Zelter, he wrote German ballades, and developed an individual style of great dramatic force and lyrical inspiration; he perfected the genre, and was regarded by many musicians as the greatest song composer after Schubert and before Brahms. In 1820 he became a schoolmaster at Stettin, and in 1821 music director there and organist at St. Jacobus Cathedral. He lived in Stettin, except for frequent travels, until 1866, when he settled in Kiel. He visited Vienna (1844), London (1847), Sweden and Norway (1851), and Paris (1857), among other places. During his long career in Stettin, he established a reputation across Europe both as a composer and a singer. Much respected at the Prussian court, where he was a favourite of both Friedrich Wilhelm III and Friedrich Wilhelm IV, he was elected a member of the Berlin Academy in 1837. Loewe was also active as a music teacher. His most famous student, whom he taught composition from 1841 to 1847, was Emilie Mayer. As a composer, he wrote 6 operas, hundreds of songs and ballades, several cantatas, 2 symphonies, 2 piano concertos, 4 string quartets, a Piano Trio and piano sonatas.
