context_page_description: Eduard von der Hellen was a German archivist, editor and writer.
  Von der Hellen was archivist at the Goethe Archives in Weimar, and a former colleague of Rudolf Steiner.
context_section_description: Eduard von der Hellen was born in Gut Wellen in Wellen, today in the municipality of Beverstedt, district of Cuxhaven.
  In 1894 he moved to the Nietzsche Archive, which Friedrich Nietzsche's sister Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche had just founded in Naumburg an der Saale. This led to a dispute with Rudolf Steiner, who probably also had ambitions for the publication of Nietzsche. After only a few months, Hellen left once again the Nietzsche archive.
  In 1900 he moved to Stuttgart. There he was until 1923 literary adviser of the Cotta publishing house. Von der Hellen was the main editor of the 40-volume jubilee edition of Goethe's works, which appeared in the years 1902 to 1912, as well as the sixteen-volume secular edition of Schiller's works in the years 1904 and 1905. 
  He died in 1927 in Stuttgart.
