Georg Ebner

Georg Christoph Albrecht Ebner (11 August 1784, Ludwigsburg - 17 April 1863, Stuttgart) was a German publisher.

He completed an apprenticeship at a bookstore in Ulm, owned by August Lebrecht Stettin [de], then worked at the Ritter Bookstore in Dresden, before taking over his father's company as "G. Ebnersche Kunsthandlung" in 1813.

It was there that the landscape painter and lithographer, Eberhard Emminger, served his apprenticeship in 1822,[1] and the future publisher, Jakob Ferdinand Schreiber [de], worked from 1828 to 1831.

In 1833, he was one of the founders of the Allgemeinen Rentenanstalt, the first pension insurance company in Germany (still in business as the Württembergische Lebensversicherung [de]).

[3] Shortly before his fiftieth wedding anniversary, he was killed during construction work at his home.
