Eduard Hallberger

Encouraged by this, he joined with the writers, Friedrich Wilhelm Hackländer and Edmund Zoller (1822-1902), to create the illustrated news magazine Über Land und Meer.

One of his most popular works, Aegypten in Bild und Wort (Egypt in Image and Word), with commentary by the Egyptologist, Georg Ebers, was issued in 1879 and translated into several languages, including English, French and Czech.

In 1873, the companies merged and he built new corporate headquarters, designed by Georg von Morlok [de], which were destroyed by a bombing raid in 1944.

Per his wishes, his holdings were transferred to a stock company called the Deutsche Verlags-Anstalt [de] (now a division of Random House).

A "Temple of Honor", erected at Ilkahöhe by his daughter, Gabriele, was demolished in the 1970s Media related to Eduard Hallberger at Wikimedia Commons
