Hartwig Naftali Carlebach was born in 1889, the eleventh of 12 children of Esther Adler (1853–1920), the daughter of the former rabbi of Lübeck, Alexander Sussmann Adler (1816–1869), and Lübeck's then rabbi Salomon (Shlomo) Carlebach (1845–1919).[1] Four of his brothers were rabbis as well. They are Emanuel Carlebach (1874–1927), Joseph Carlebach (1883–1942), David Carlebach (1885–1913) and Ephraim Carlebach (1879–1936).[2]
