Christoph Breitwieser was born in Frankfurt am Main, where he graduated in archeology and cultural history of the Near East and prehistory and early history. First he worked at the Roman Germanic Central Museum in Mainz and finally moved to The Museum Bensheim, which he heads today. There, in addition to focusing on the city's history, he focused on special exhibitions with art and in the course of this founded the Bergstrasse Art Archive in 2017. Breitwieser regularly publishes catalogs and essays on the subjects of art, cultural history and archeology.
