Christian August Gottlob Eberhard

Christian August Gottlob Eberhard (12 January 1769 – 13 May 1845) was a German miscellaneous writer.

He was born at Belzig, in the Electorate of Saxony.

He studied theology at Leipzig; but, having had a story successfully published in a periodical, he began a career in literature.

With the exception of Hannchen und die Küchlein (1822), a narrative poem in ten parts, and an epic on the creation, Der erste Mensch und die Erde (1828), Eberhard's work was ephemeral in character and is now forgotten.

[1] His collected works (Gesammelte Schriften) appeared in 20 volumes in 1830–1831.
