Johann Friedrich Ebner

Johann Friedrich Ebner (born August 17, 1748 in Stuttgart ; † June 15, 1825 there ) was a German art publisher .

Life

Johann Friedrich Ebner was the eldest son of Johann Jakob Ebner and his wife Rosine Magdalene, nee. Hero. His younger siblings were Christian Gottlob Ebner, who later ran the Stettinsche Buchhandlung in Ulm , and Friederike Christiane Ebner, who married the registrar Friedrich Hölder.

Johann Friedrich Ebner completed a commercial apprenticeship in Stuttgart. He married his first wife, Maria Elisabeth Walz, in 1773; the marriage remained childless and ended after two years with the death of the wife. In 1775 Ebner married Juliane Friederike Hebich, mayor's daughter from Böblingen , with whom he had nine children. From 1780 to 1785 he headed an art institute that Duke Carl Eugen had attached to the Ludwigsburg orphanage. There painters and modellers were trained for the porcelain manufactory. From 1785 Ebner operated a shop for painting and drawing supplies at Grabenstrasse 7 in Stuttgart, which later moved to Obere Königstrasse (No. 29). After the death of Duke Carl Eugen, both Ebner and his competitor Cotta bought parts of the legacy of the court printing house in the Hohen Karlsschule , which was soon closed after the Duke's death. In this way, Ebner came into possession of numerous printing plates from the Württemberg court calendar, which probably had an impact on the later focus of the publisher: illustrated books and series of pictures on Württemberg were to make up a substantial part of its range. In 1793, however, Johann Friedrich Ebner also published a magazine with the latest fashions from England and France in 36 issues.

After the Rapp - Cottasche lithographic printing plant in the old chancellery was closed in 1810 , Ebner's business was expanded to include a stone and copper printing plant. Until 1817 it was the only lithographic printing house in Stuttgart. Ebner's son Karl August was in charge. Karl August Ebner soon moved with this printing company to Christophstraße and later founded the Ebner & Seubert publishing house there, in whose management his son Albert Ebner joined in 1840. After Seubert left in 1850, Eduard Ebner was accepted as a partner; In 1868 this business passed to Ludwig Ebner and finally in 1883 in the Paul Neff publishing house.

Another son of Johann Friedrich Ebner, Georg Ebner , later took over his father's publishing house. Johann Friedrich Ebner, Württemberg's first art publisher, brought out works by Eberhard Emminger , Carl Urban Keller , CF Keller , Caspar Obach and Johannes Wölffle , among others . In addition, he printed the Stuttgart address book from 1800.

Ebner's and his second wife's grave in the Hoppenlaufriedhof has been preserved, it has a large, arched grave slab on a red sandstone base.
