Hans Eberhard von Bodenhausen (* 12 June 1868 in Wiesbaden; † 6 May 1918 in Meineweh; full name: Hans Eberhard von Bodenhausen called Degener) was a German lawyer, art historian, entrepreneur and manager. In 1895 he was one of the co-founders of the Berlin art and literature magazine Pan and he was in active exchange with many artists, poets, publicists and patrons of his time, such as Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Harry Graf Kessler, Henry van de Velde, Rudolf Alexander Schröder, Max Liebermann and Paul Cassirer. His estate, which also includes a comprehensive correspondence with Harry Graf Kessler and Hugo von Hofmannsthal, is archived in the German Literature Archive in Marbach.

Life

Eberhard von Bodenhausen was son of the Majoratsherr and member of the Prussian Manor Hans Freiherr von Bodenhausen-Degener and the Philadelphia native Fanny Butler. He attended the grammar school in Roßleben. In 1887 he enrolled at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität für Rechtswissenschaft. In 1887 he became active in the Corps Borussia Bonn. As an inactive he moved to the University of Leipzig and the Friedrich-Wilhelms-University of Berlin. During his studies he met Harry Graf Kessler, with whom he remained friends until his death in 1918. In 1892, after the first state examination, Bodenhausen first worked as a trainee lawyer at the Halberstadt Court of Appeals, then at the Wollstein District, in Nauen and later in Potsdam. He retired from the civil service as a district administrator. In 1894 Bodenhausen was co-founder and first chairman of the "Genossenschaft PAN", a registered association that published the art and literature magazine Pan in Berlin. In May 1897 Bodenhausen met Henry van de Velde. In June of the same year, Bodenhausen visited Hugo von Hofmannsthal for the first time, with whom he became close friends.

On 14 September 1897, Bodenhausen founded Proton GmbH in Mülheim am Rhein. The company was renamed Tropon GmbH in 1898 and produced a protein product of the same name to improve public health. Bodenhausen was the first managing director of this limited liability company (Germany) and commissioned Henry van de Velde to design posters and packaging for the Tropon products. The resulting poster is probably one of the most important advertising graphics of today, created under the influence of Art Nouveau. An original of the first Tropon poster can now be found in the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

On 23 October 1897 Eberhard von Bodenhausen married Dorothea Gräfin Degenfeld-Schonburg. Three children emerged from this marriage; the second child was Luli von Bodenhausen (* 7 November 1902; † 7 July 1951).

In 1902 Bodenhausen began studying art history at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg, which he completed in 1905. With Bodenhausen's participation, the German Artists' Association was founded in Weimar on 16 December 1903; Harry Graf Kessler was vice president, and Bodenhausen secretary.

On November 2, 1907 Bodenhausen became director (member of the executive board) of Friedrich Krupp AG in Essen. On May 6, 1910 he moved to the Supervisory Board of this company. Von Bodenhausen continued his work as an art historian, promoter and organizer of art and culture alongside this professional activity. In January 1918 Eberhard von Bodenhausen became Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Friedrich Krupp AG.

Eberhard von Bodenhausen died in Meineweh before his 50th birthday. His grave is located in the Degenershausen estate near Ermsleben.
