Johann van Beethoven[1][2] (born 14 November 1740 in Bonn - 18 December 1792 in Bonn) was the father of the famous composer Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827).

The tenor was the son of Ludwig van Beethoven[3][4] (1712 in Mechelen - 1773 in Bonn), Kapellmeister at the court of the Prince-Archbishop-Elector of Cologne Clemens August of Bavaria at Bonn, and Maria Josepha Ball (married 1733). The famous composer is named after his grandfather of the same name (aka Louis or Lodewijk van Beethoven), a descendant of a Roman Catholic Flemish family of musicians and instrument makers from former Duchy of Brabant (presumably the Mechelen-Leuven area) which moved to Bonn in the early 18th century.

Johann married Maria Magdalena Keverich (1746 in Ehrenbreitstein1787) on 12 November 1767 in the Catholic St. Remigius church, Bonn. He worked as a musician in the Electoral court at Bonn. Johann was an alcoholic and Ludwig had to support the family at a young age. Johann realized Ludwig's talent and became his first teacher. Because of Johann's alcohol problem, he would pull Beethoven out of bed late at night and order him to play the piano and or violin for his friends. It is said that Johann was a violent father when it came to Beethoven's music. Whenever Beethoven would play poorly, Johann would exclaim that it was an embarrassment to the family.
