Robert Eberhardt, born 1987 in Schmalkalden (Thuringia, former GDR), is a young German author and publisher. In 2008 he founded the publishing firm “Wolff Verlag R. Eberhardt“, a individual home for books about cultural history, literature and issues, that concern the central region of Germany (Thuringia, Hessian, Saxony). In October 2010 the firm was presented for the first time at the Frankfurt book fair.

Eberhardt studies Art History and History at Heidelberg University (Germany) and in Paris at the Sorbonne (France). In 2010 he founded “Gesellschaft Kulturerbe Thüringen“, a non-profit association, that wants to preserve the cultural heritage of Thuringia, an extraordinary territory in the middle of Europe with an amazing history and homeland of Martin Luther, Johann Sebastian Bach, Johann Wolfgang Goethe and the Bauhaus Weimar. The association is searching for international support concerning this cultural context, that has a worldwide impact and answers to questions of our days: How may we be able to retain great thoughts at a time of rapidity, forgetting and globalization?

Robert Eberhardt has published three books. The last publication (2010): “Seume und Münchhausen“, is a book about a special relation between the famous German poet Johann Gottfried Seume (1763-1810) and the military Karl Freiherr von Münchhausen (1759-1836). They made contact with each other in New Scotland in 1782 and cultivated a close and critical friendship.

At the moment Robert Eberhardt lives in Berlin and is preparing further publishing projects.
