He was born at Posen on the 29th of November 1795.
Friedrich Wilhelm Eduard Gerhard received education at Breslau and Berlin.
The reputation he acquired by his Lectiones Apollonianae (1816) led soon afterwards to his being appointed professor at the gymnasium of Posen. On resigning that office in 1819, on account of weakness of the eyes, he went in 1822 to Rome, where he remained for fifteen years.
Gerhard was one of the principal originators of the Instituto di corrispondenza archeologica, founded at Rome in 1829, with the support of the Prussian crown prince, Frederick William. Co-founders included Theodor Panofka, Otto Magnus von Stackelberg and August Kestner. This model of international cooperation and systematic scientific publication was influenced by the example of Alexander von Humboldt, and later became the present-day German Archaeological Institute. Gerhard served as secretary to the new Institute during his stay in Rome.
Returning to Germany in 1837 he was appointed archaeologist at the Royal Museum of Berlin. In 1844 he was chosen a member of the Academy of Sciences, and a professor in Berlin University.
He died at Berlin on the 12 th of May 1867. Besides a large number of archaeological papers in periodicals, in the Annali of the Institute of Rome, and in the Transactions of the Berlin Academy, and several illustrated catalogues of Greek, Roman and other antiquities in the Berlin, Naples and Vatican Museums, Gerhard was the author of the following works: Antiie Bildwerke (Stuttgart, 1827 - 1844) ; A userlesene griech. Vasenbilder (1839 - 1858); Etruskische Spiegel (1839 - 1865); Hyperboreisch-rom. Studien (vol. i. , 1833; vol. ii. , 1852); Prodromus mytholog. Kunsterklarung (Stuttgart and Tubingen, 1828); and Griech. Mythologie (1854 - 1855). His Gesammelte akademische Abhandlungen und kleine Schriften were published posthumously in 2 vols. , Berlin, 1867.
