Ernst Henrich Berling

Ernst Henrich Berling (22 March 1708 – 16 October 1750) was a German-Danish book printer and publisher.

In 1733 he set up a printing business and in 1747 he was appointed Royal Book Printer.

On 27 December 1748, he received a license to publish newspapers, Danish, German, French and scholarly, which he had acquired from Inger Wielandt, a printer's widow.

As a Royal Book Printer he published several of Ludvig Holberg's works as well as prestigious and lavish publications such as Lauritz de Thurah's profusely illustrated architectural works Den Danske Vitruvius I-II (1746–49) and Hafnia Hodierna (1748).
