Life

Eberhardt passed her school leaving examination in 1917 after having attended private school and trained as a music teacher. She then studied in Giessen and Berlin until her doctorate in 1922 at the Humboldt University in Berlin with the Gestalt psychologist Wolfgang Köhler . Her attempts to find a supervisor for a habilitation failed. In 1927 she passed the state examination for the higher teaching post in Göttingen with the main subjects biology and physics. She then conducted research with William Stern in Hamburg and with Kurt Koffka in the USA (1928–1929), mainly on the deaf and dumb . From 1929 to 1934 she was an assistant at the Hamburg Institute for Educational Science, but was given leave of absence because of “communist activities”. She raised money for an imprisoned communist student. In November 1933 she signed the professors' declaration of Adolf Hitler at German universities and colleges . Although rehabilitated in 1935, she never got her job back. From 1937 to 1944 she worked as a music teacher in Münster. In 1947 she applied in vain to professors Wilhelm Flitner and Hans Wenke for admission to the habilitation . From 1948 to 1957 she was given a four-hour teaching post in psychology. The remigrant Curt Bondy promoted them. From 1950, her main work was Recognizing, Valuing, Acting . A first commemorative publication was published on her 70th birthday in which her achievements were recognized. In 1957, shortly after her 70th birthday, she was appointed honorary professor at the University of Hamburg. She died less than five months later.
