Konrad Ernst Ackermann (1 February 1710 – 13 November 1771) was a German actor.
Ackermann first accompanied field marshal
in 1751 and founded the Ackermann troupe (Ackermann'sche Gesellschaft).The troupe visited Danzig,
Halle, then Frankfurt and with the beginning of the Seven Years' War via Strasbourg, France, to Switzerland. After the peace treaty, they returned via Strasbourg, Frankfurt, Mainz, Braunschweig, and Hanover to Hamburg, which became the domicile of the troupe. In 1762, Johann Michael Böck joined the troupe. Friederike Sophie Seyler
also joined around this time, and both remained members until the troupe was sold in 1767.
In 1767, the troupe was sold to a consortium of private owners, called the Hamburg National Theatre or the
Seyler theatrical company
.
His children with Sophie Charlotte were Dorothea and Marie Ackermann.
