He studied at the Berlin Building Academy (1818 surveyor examination, 1822 conductor examination, 1828 master builder examination). In 1824 he was a co-founder of the Berlin Architects' Association , on whose board he remained until August 1862. Associated with this activity was also the role of co-editor of various magazines, which established the beginnings of the specialist press for architects in Germany. Worth mentioning are:

  • Architectural album; Edited by the Architects' Association in Berlin by Stüler, Knoblauch, Salzenberg , Strack ; Potsdam, 1840-1849
  • Zeitschrift für Bauwesen , until 1880: ed. with co-workers of the royal Technical construction deputation & of the Berlin Architects' Association, Berlin, 1851–1931

After completing his studies, he traveled to Germany and Holland in 1828 . Together with his friend Friedrich August Stüler and the Dresden architect Woldemar Hermann (1807–1878), whom he had met in Berlin, he then traveled to France , Switzerland and Italy in 1829/1830 .

In 1830 he was the first private architect to settle in Berlin. He wanted to avoid the dominant role of Karl Friedrich Schinkel in state construction.

In 1845 he was appointed a member of the Academy of Arts .

Illness combined with incapacity for work and the admission to a mental institution in 1863 prevented him from taking over the execution of his main work, the New Synagogue . Friedrich August Stüler took his place.

Knoblauch did not live to see the opening of the New Synagogue; he died on May 29, 1865 in Berlin.

His sons Gustav (1833–1916) and Edmund (1841–1883) and his grandson Arnold Knoblauch also worked as architects.

Eduard Knoblauch was buried in the St. Marien and St. Nikolai Cemetery I at Prenzlauer Tor . His gravestone has been preserved. His grave is dedicated to the city of Berlin as an honorary grave .
