Vatroslav Lichtenegger (1809-1885) was a Croatian music teacher and composer.
Born in Podčetrtek, he moved to Zagreb around 1827, and became a choralist in the Zagreb Cathedral as well as a teacher at the Croatian Music Institute.[1] Lichtenegger was a teacher of singing and organist of the Zagreb Cathedral.[2] He scored and harmonized the song Horvatska domovina by Josip Runjanin for a male choir in 1861. In 1891, the song won a competition to become the Croatian national anthem.[3]
He is buried in the Mirogoj cemetery in Zagreb. His daughter was famous opera singer Mathilde Mallinger.[4]
