Friedrich Eggers

Hartwig Karl Friedrich Eggers (27 November 1819 in Rostock – 11 August 1872 in Berlin) was a German art historian.

There, he made the acquaintance of the historian, Franz Theodor Kugler, who commissioned him to prepare a report on the reorganization of the Prussian art administration process.

[3] In early 1849, he was hired to the editorial board of the Mecklenburgische Zeitung, but returned to Berlin in 1850 and was instrumental in founding the Deutsches Kunstblatt [de] (Art Sheet).

In 1857, he was presented with the "Schlossmedaille [de]" (Castle Medal), a one-time award given by Frederick Francis II, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, to those who had contributed to the construction of Schwerin Palace.

He also employed his earlier professional skills to teach at the Bauakademie and pursued his literary ambitions, but remained largely unknown.
