Life

Ebhardt was the son of the Bremen furniture manufacturer and businessman Carl Ebhardt and his wife Agnes geb. Krollmann. He attended school in Sankt Goarshausen , where he was enthusiastic about castles. After finishing school with the upper secondary qualification , he did a commercial apprenticeship in Magdeburg and Bremen from 1880 , but soon gave up this profession against the wishes of his parents in order to continue his self-didactic training and attended lectures in Berlin. In 1890 he opened his own architecture studio in Berlin. As a castle researcher and restorer he won the friendship of Kaiser Wilhelm II. He became known for the reconstruction of numerous castles.

In 1899 he founded the German Castle Association and from 1909 he lived on the Marksburg in Braubach. Ebhardt was a professor and court building officer, became an honorary citizen of Braubach in 1909 and was a founding member of the Friends of Plassenburg Association in 1928 . He was also a member of the Berlin Masonic Lodge Zum Pegasus .
