KLEEBERG, AUGUST (Austr.). Contemporary Medallist, residing at Vienna, where since 1864 he has executed a number of Personal and Commemorative medals. He died towards the end of last century. Amongst these I have noticed : Assassination of Maximilian I., Emperor of Mexico, 1867 (2 var.); — The Empress Elizabeth of Austria nursing the sick during the war, 1866; — Centenary Commemoration of the Palatine Archduke Joseph, 1876; — Hungarian Coronation of the Emperor Francis Joseph and Empress Elizabeth, 1866 (4 var.); — Inauguration of the Monument to Field Marshal Prince Schwarzenberg, 1867; — Federal Choral Festival of Lower Austria, at Wiener Neustadt, 1864. The following information respecting Kleeberg has been kindly favoured by Messrs Brüder Egger of Vienna : " Wir wissen nur das Kleeberg eigentlich Graveur und Goldarbeiter war, und die Herstellung von Medaillen entweder gar nicht oder nur nebensächlich betrieben hat, indem er Medaillen von anderen arbeiten lies, und nur seinen Namen darunter setzte ; z.B. hat Scharff wiederholt erzählt, dass eine Medaille mit dem Kopfe Richard Wagner's auf die Bayreuther Festspiele im Jahre 1876 von ihm auf Bestellung des Kleeberg angefertigt wurde, und auch die Initialen A. K. auf derselben vorkommen. “ Diese Medaille ist beschrieben im Katalog der Ausstellung von Münzen und Medaillen aus der Regierungszeit Kaiser Franz Josef I, veranstaltet von der Numismatischen-Gesellschaft in Wien im Jahre 1888, unter Nr. 1946. “ Kleeberg war in letzter Zeit bei einer hiesigen Gold und Silberfabrik Markowisch & Scheid als Werkführer angestellt."
