About the Author

ECKART BÖHMER, born in Santiago de Chile in 1966, is the director of the Kaspar Hauser Festspiele in Ansbach, Germany, and a travelling speaker, author and theatre director. After studying theatre direction in Ulm, Germany, Eckart Böhmer founded his own theatre near Ansbach. In 1998, he began the bi-annual Kaspar Hauser Festspiele in Ansbach. In 2016 he was asked to take on the research of Professor Hermann Pies, who had spent a lifetime pursuing and studying documents about Kaspar Hauser. He placed this historic legacy into the centre of a `Kaspar Hauser Research Circle’, founded together with Richard Steel, within the Karl König Institute. Since that time, research has been widened and activities have spread to the USA, where regular festivals have been organized on the East and West coasts.
