After completing his studies, Eberhard joined the Prussian judicial service on March 5, 1894 as a court trainee.

In 1900 he took a temporary leave of absence for training in agriculture, before he resumed service in the same year as a government assessor with the Trier government . In the same position he was subsequently transferred to the governments in Wiesbaden (February 1902) and Frankfurt / Oder (April 1903). In Frankfurt, Eberhard was appointed to the government council on June 3, 1907 , before moving to the Cologne government in November 1906 .

Its official seat was unchanged in Mülheim , although not only the city of Mülheim, which had been independent since 1901, but also the mayor's office of Merheim had been incorporated into Cologne on April 1, 1914. In January 1920 Eberhard also received the definitive appointment as Mülheim district administrator. When the Mülheim district was dissolved on October 1, 1932 and merged with the Wipperfürth district, which had also been repealed, to form the Rheinisch-Bergischen district , Eberhard remained in office as the first district administrator of the newly formed district. However , he was no longer to "experience" the move to the new Bergisch Gladbach official seat, the former Villa Zanders bought by the district in 1932. Less than two months after the National Socialists came to power , Eberhard applied for his retirement on March 15, 1933, which then took place on May 1, 1933.
