About Ernst Christian Wilhelm Ackermann
- Ernst Christian Wilhelm Ackermann (14 June 1761, Weimar – 4 October 1835, Jena) was a German public servant and writer. He studied in Leipzig and Jena between 1779 and 1782, and was a childhood friend of August von Kotzebue.
- In the following years, he worked as judiciary auditor under his father in Ilmenau, and later as private lecturer.
- In 1790, he became adjunct and when his father died in 1792, Ernst Ackermann took his place as judiciary bailiff.
- Ackerman resigned when Ilmenau was annexed to Weimar and economic conditions became less favourable.
- Consequently, he was assigned Privy Referendar at the Ministry of Justice where he stayed until 1826, when he retired. Ackermann made a large number of anonymous contributions to different journals.
- After the death of Kotzebue, he remained the sole editor of the Literarisches Wochenblatt.
